      Hmm, had to watch it, seems like they are completely missing the point of measuring the air movements at the end of the train as shown in their schematics in the beginning. And they had their anemometers parallel to the track only. Wth? And of course the flat end will show shit values as the flow is much less laminar. It seems to me it’s even more dangerous if you get pushed when the train comes in because by reflex you will readjust your position pushing your body towards the train, and if there is any suck off effect at the end of the train, your chance to tipp over are probably quite high. Depending on the speed of the train and it length of course, which determine the push-then-pull effect.

    You can watch pretty much every episode of Mythbusters on YouTube, BTW. It’s pretty cool.

      Except somehow who ever edited the clips did an infinitely worse job than just freaking cutting out the commercials from the old broadcasts.

        Did they? It was my impression that the weird and annoying jumping around topics IS how they were broadcast, which isn’t exactly unusual, either.

          I desperately hope they either trained the monkey editing their clips or got a new one, but for a time, they’d have videos that only had the first half of what was in the title, or say, “all of episode 30” and it’d be 12 minutes long, etc. It’s like they fed their episodes in to a shitty AI to edit things together.

            Weird, I’ve never seen anything like that when I binged it one or two years ago. There might be multiple YouTube channels that have these episodes? Even when I watched it, the seasons weren’t all on the same channel.

              I don’t remember which channel it was, but they seemed official? Like it was a very plain channel name with no extras, like MythBusters, or maybe with a space in there and that was it. Either way, they had a stint in there where the videos were terribly cut, so I noped out… I still have the series saved off elsewhere, so no need for a shitty youtube channel if I need to binge some sane TV.

        the full episodes on the official mythbusters yt channel is from master; not broadcast recordings

        (ie the source material that they use to produce DVDs and the footage they send to TV networks)

        When it comes to really old TV I like it better when they leave the ads in. It’s a little time capsule.
