Wanna see a jet disappear?

[bugjuice]

thought this was pretty impressive. Saw it yonks ago on TV, this clip doesn't show the wall after the jet hit it at 800km/h, but the wall has a few scratches on it.. nothing a bit of filler and a paint can couldn't fix..

Interesting. The wall seemed to hold up ok until the wings came through - they just sliced through it like butter.

I wish I had a job where I could play with stuff like that all day. One of my cousins worked in Aussie as a demolition guy blowing up buildings. Time I had a career change I think.

Prisons?................

Prisons?................

No, prisons have lots of windows nowdays, and tv's pool tables, gyms, recreation rooms, heated floors... the list goes on. Every creature comfort the creatures could want.

That video of the simulated plane crash test is one that has been around for years. The old F4 Phantom was used in the Vietnam war and was originally flown off carriers.

Well, if you are going to crash, I guess you wouldn't feel anything at that speed! I wonder what the actual point of the test was.

to see if the concrete wall could withstand an attack..??
yeah, ok, so it's a jet going into it, but that'd prove a few points I'd guess!! aside from that, it's coooooool
