    @Predator9710 Yep - The Two Towers, to be precise, Isengard/Saruman theme. :)
    Also, Mythbusters did that too (don’t know who did it first though), with a car, a bus and a small plane.

    @metalstorm91291 concrete breaks under tension for the exact same reson that it is not flexible.. look up videos of tankers and cargoships in heavy seas, they twist like a spaghetti in hot water

    @metalstorm91291 Most , if not all, public-transportation planes do that.

    0:35 Oh my gosh, look at the wingtip! That doesn’t look very structurally sound to me, flapping up and down like that.

    @aserta actually they re-tested that in mythbusters with a real 747 and they tryid with a car, a school bus and a small aeroplane. and they got pretty much the same result as top gear in this video.. only thing was that they did tear up the tarmac with the thrust from the engines… :D

    @factionxvt408x Well this was from series 4 I think, and they’ve done another 10 series since then, which have all been awesome, so I don’t think they where exactly running out of ideas.

    This was done on mythbusters. Are they running out of ideas?

    @suprafan246 i think eventually there would be so much air over the wings of the car they would break. then it would go flying :)
