Of these initial test, Adam and Jamie placed several barrels filled water inside the bus to match the weight of the nineteen passengers observed in the film. They then placed all with the barrels on your right side with the bus and performed a right hand turn at 50 mph. The bus barely were able to result in the turn but successfully managed not to flip over. They then performed another test with the weight evenly distributed in order to confirm the first test, but the bus failed to flip, proving that weight distribution was not necessary and busting the myth. In order to flip the bus, Adam and Jamie distributed all within the weight to the outside from the bus to shift the center of gravity, added steel weights to the roof to make it top heavy, and added a valve to deflate the left side air-suspension to further shift the weight on the vehicle.
This was a revisit of season 3's Compact Compact an enormous wherewithal to successfully complete the experiment initially. Applying the teachings learned from their first attempt, the MythBusters rebuilt the entire crash rig. The test was successful, with both trucks crashing head on and pancaking the compact. However, the compact car was pushed out from the collision zone in place of staying between the trucks, and the trucks were not fused together as stated in the myth. In order to see the thing would take to pancake and fuse a compact, the MythBusters decided to ram a concise with a rocket sled. The rocket sled struck the compact car at a speed of 648 miles per hour (1,043 km/h), completely disintegrating the compact car. However, the impact didn't attain the fusion they were looking for. In order to see what it would take to fuse two pieces of metal together, the MythBusters demonstrated explosion welding where metal may be fused by using high explosives. Since trucks cannot travel faster than sound, nor can high explosives be easily found on a highway, the myth was ultimately busted.
