Ok, get this. On Mythbusters last night, Jamie (is that spelled right??) and Adam were testing to see if everytime a car was driven off a cliff, it exploded. Sounds cool and totally probable right? Wrong.
You see, the explosion could be caused pretty much only by the gas tank, which in modern cars, is placed in a location where it is protected so the mythical explosion doesn't happen. Sad. So in testing, all they got was crunched cars (which are still pretty cool, but not as awesome as random explosions).
Then, Jamie and Adam strapped a gas tank to the fron of the car and ran it off a cliff. The result: a wickedly cool fireball and a charred, mangled car, but no explosions. At the end of the show, they rigged yet another car with explosives, pushed it off a cliff and detonated the explosives when it hit the ground, which is totally cheating, but still really cool.
