Synopsis
Could you kill someone by dropping a penny from a skyscraper? Can an unsuspecting scuba diver be sucked out of the water by a firefighting helicopter and get spit out in the middle of a forest fire? Can you save yourself in a plummeting elevator by jumping just before it hits bottom?
Special effects experts Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, hosts of the Discovery Channel's top-rated Mythbusters, use modern-day extreme science to show you what's real and what's fiction. With photographs, illustrations, and exclusive interviews to document the MythBusting process, MythBusters: The Explosive Truth Behind 20 of the Most Perplexing Urban Legends of All Time examines dozens of urban legends, from exploding toilets to being buried alive - these guys have tested them all. Eye-opening, jaw-dropping, and eve laugh-inducing, this book will delight armchair scientists, curious readers, and fans of the show alike.
