MythBusters

Air Plane Hour

TV-PG

Jamie and Adam take wing to test if a person with no flight training can safely land an airplane and if a plane can take off from a conveyor belt speeding in the opposite direction. Tory, Grant, and Kari jump on some Hollywood-inspired skydiving myths.

I don't know what happened - but there are others bitching about it on their message board at http://community.discovery.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/9401967776/m/5841963149/p/1

Was this the best troll job ever, or did those 2 yellow beared fags cut it out of the show?

Here is a post on their website - it has to be from a letsrun poster

"Worst thing to happen since the Holocaust. May even be worse. Congrats Discovery. You have perpetrated the Treadmealacaust."

Here is my favorite from that board:

Let's test this myth.. can two complete failures of hosts with the personalities of a drooling retard who makes funny noises host a show that absolutely betrays it's viewers, and then has the nerve to insult them at the end of what is possibly THE MOST highly anticipated show of their entire run, STILL keep their show after doing so?

The mind boggles..

let's flood that forum

I like this one

Well, I know I skipped my wedding to watch this episode. Thanks, I am not married, and I still don't have awesome video of an airplane taking off from a treadmill. I might as well go hang my self while trying to run on a treadmill.

from the Exacutive Producer of Myth Busters from the MB forum:

"Dear all,

As wbarnhill called out, I thought I should step in to what is rapidly becoming a hornet's nest. I will try to calm things down but I don't hold out much hope!

First up, for those concerned that this story has been cancelled, don't worry, planes on a conveyer belt has been filmed, is spectacular, and will be part of what us Mythbusters refer to as 'episode 97'. Currently that is due to air on January 30th.

Secondly, for those very aggrieved fans feeling "duped" into watching tonight's show, I can only apologise. I'm not sure why the listings / internet advertised that tonight's show contained POCB. I will endeavour to find out an answer but for those conspiracy theorists amongst you, I can assure you that it will have just been an honest mistake. At one point

several months ago, POCB was going to be part of Airplane Hour. Somewhere, someone has mistakenly posted the wrong listing. It will have been a genuine mistake but nonetheless it was a mistake which is unacceptable. As said I will try to find out what went wrong and hope that you will see fit to forgive the team at Discovery.

Thanks in advance,

Dan"

"Adam? Jamie? Dan? Someone step up and tell us what happened tonight."

No, but they will share a common failure

Fantastic reply

Does it Fly?

NO.

NO.

NO.

If a plane is traveling at takeoff speed on a conveyor belt, and that conveyor belt is matching the speed in reverse, can the plane take off?

``We put the plane on a quarter-mile conveyor belt and tested it out,'' says Savage about the experiment using a pilot and his Ultralight plane. ``I won't tell you what the outcome was, but the pilot and his entire flight club got it wrong[/quote]

The train will hit the runner in the tunnel.
