I caught a sneak peak of Discovery Channel's new show Smash Lab last night - think Mythbusters with more science and more explosions. They just take on one problem and work it all the way through. Last night they wanted to see how tough Rhino-Liner really was, so they took 2 pickups trucks (1 with and 1 without) and put 5 pounds of dynamite under the rear axle of each one. Without: when the truck bed came down it was shredded. With: the bed stayed in place and intact.
The finale was a small cinder block building (treated on both sides) vs a very large car bomb - the wall buckled slightly at the point of the explosion, but stayed intact and safe enough to evacuate. Pretty wild.
