Assigment #2 Bird in a truck, 25 mph boat crashes

Adam and Jamie tested 2 myths this week. In the first one, they checked to see if they were able to lighten the load of a truck if birds inside the truck took flight. In the second one, they were checking if a boat travelling at 25 mph will split in two if it crashes into a channel marker. In the first one, they began to check the myth with a lot of birds in a big plastic box. Clearly, the flying birds did not make the trailer lighter. Then, they did the same test with a little helicopter. When the helicopter took off, it had no difference about the weight of the box. In the second one, they did a lot of tests and finally they placed the boat at 50 feet in the air and they dropped it down on the ground. The boat did not split in two even if it was worn out with test before. The two myths were finally busted.

Answers of questions:

Fred
1. Why did you toke Myth Busters?
I took MythBusters because I like to see crazy things.

2. Do you think that they realy love to do this job?
Yes I think because Adam and Jamie are very enthusiast about myth.

3. Before they make the test for the bird, do you think this can be possible?
No, because I knew that to lift a thing in the air, we need equal or bigger opposite pression than the weight of the thing we want to lift.

1. Which experience did you like the most? why?
The experience with the boat because summer, I work for the Coast Guard and I saw a boat crashed into an other one and I would compare both crashes. The Mythbusters's boat had more damage.

2. Who is your favorite brother and did you think he was crazy or brainy?
My favorite brother is Adam because he looks like more welling to do some crazy experience.
