I too noticed that their was a major engine failure in the Turksih Rocketeer myth test. Clearly, the rocket was going straight until the engine began to burn backwards or perhaps sideways. Not sure what happened, but it looked like the engine case was breached.

I think otterman Turk myth would have have been plausible if you used the same rocket that u used in supper sized Jato rocket car

If you watch the “Rocketeer” launch in slow motion, it is obvious that the rocket engine suffered a major failure shortly into the launch. Flames are shooting out of the top of the rocket, burning Buster already at only maybe 20ft off the ground. Then the flames increase and burn a hole in the side of the rocket. This is what caused their rocket to tumble out of control and fail. It clearly only became unstable once more thrust was coming from the wrong end of the engine than from the intended nozzle end. They should have confessed up to this and called the conclusion “inconclusive”. If the engine hadn’t failed, they might have had success and called it “plausible”.
As an engineer, I see a lot of obvious mistakes on very many of the episodes, but I think they get a lot of email about it from the fans.

What about the Pinto? What was the deal with that. Supposedly it exploded from just mild rear-end collisions. What is up with that?

At the beginning Kari were pregnant, and when they tested the myth she wasn’t. And when they told that the myth was busted she was pregnant again xD
