Jamie and Adam become speechless at the sight of a car crashing into a wall at 100 mph.
ok hitting a brick wall at 100 mph in a typical car will turn you into meat soup. good to know.
It also depends on how you wreck. Speed is one factor and the other depends on how you wreck.
EL Valenin I hit a huge light post and electric post going 60 and walked out with nothing
Went head on into it spun around and hit a traffic light post head on
a typical car? It seems like a car from a few decades ago.
@Gary Rupert Well, let us know, we'll put it on our calendars.
@@cubby091398 this was HEAD ON!!
Fun fact, we happened to be on a field trip at this facility when I was in Elementary school and we got to watch this crash live (we were far as shit, could barely make out what was going on and didn't know till after we left that it was the mythbusters)

Isiah 42:8-9 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them./Inspiration+God is a jealous god. He does not want us to give our affection to anything of the world. As the creator of the universe, He knows all things as He created all things. Therefore, he deserves all our praise. He knows what has passed and what is yet to come. /Prayer+ Dear God, forgive for the times when I have turned away from you and idolized the things of this world. You are the only one who deserves my worship. Forgive me. Thank you for extending your mercy. Thank you for continuing to do new things, O Lord. I place my trust in you. In Jesus’ name, amen.
You watch live tv???? We had 1996 video tapes 😂😂
My niece and her 7 yo son were on a highway yesterday,struck head on by a drunk /druggie driver who witness says was going at least 100mph.I haven’t seen any pix of her little car(a newer four door sedan,wish I could recall the make and model).
Miraculously they both survived and walked out of the hospital. I am shaking my head at this video,as it really starts to sink in that they’re even ok!
Yea that’s bs. You literally just saw what a 100mph crash did to a car. I’m not saying your family member weren’t in a head on collision but it wasn’t at 100mph.
@@UtagU_abi got into a fatal, head on car wreck in july of 2023 where the car i was in was going 116 MPH; while the other car was traveling at 50. so, i’m sure this story is possible.
im sorry, i hope they’re doing better man.
@@UtagU_ab wall vs crumple zone in mythbuster scenario. Crumple zone vs crumple zone in the other scenario is the difference
We just had a drunk 27 year old guy plow into an oblivious SUV at this rate of speed in my hometown this weekend. So sad. I was curious as to the impact,but i could had already imagined this. Both cars were unrecognizable. Don’t drink & drive. RIP
glimon805 who died?
That’s sad
And crashes at these speeds are happening multiple times in every Mario Kart race.
Your jogging speed could result dent on car if your not slow for non athlete like 7 mph maybe
RIP to the person driving, sacrificed themselves to help the show.😖
yeah, they call for volunteers. one time job only.
@@aspenrebel Really good insurance policy though.
i paused the video before the crash, theyre alright 👍
I think they used a child because I can’t see a head over the steering wheel, this is brutal 😢
@@aspenrebel there is no human in that car lol
Not only double the damage, it is four times the damage, the speed is squared in the formula.
Indy7272 this is baloney my brother was going 100 and came out with a broken leg I know because he was in a high speed chase
Malachi Mendez i refer you and your stupid comment to a quick google search of "100mph car accidents" and any physics lecture. he wasn't going 100.
mv^2?
Say the car is approx 6000Ibs and he's going 100MPH 6000 * 100^2 = 60x10^6 ft lbf
not the damage but the force, damage could be more than that
Agustin Castro energy. Not force. It's (1/2)(m)(v^2)
the front occupants are now part of the engine
and the trunk!
I thought that they know physics. The kinetic energy is proportional to the *square* of the speed (m * v ^ 2). So at 100 mph 4 times as much energy is transformed during the crash than with 50 mph.
+Csaba Toth They know physics. As a physics teacher I can tell you that this episode is possibly the best introduction to high school kids of why the square term in the kinetic energy equation matters. I show it after we've studied Newton's laws (which they use to explain the episode, as most viewers remember those from middle school) and before we talk about energy and then refer back to it after we've done the work energy theorem.
+Csaba Toth They usually play dumb because if they are super dismissive out of the gate it makes for a boring hour of TV. Some of the time after testing it they'll flat out explain why it won't work and never will work.
+Nukle0n Good point
They do. Watch the rest of this bit before calling them out.
Fucking nerd🖕🤣
If you saw the full episode you'd know that two cars hitting head on, both moving at 50mph does the same damage to both cars as one car going 50mph hitting a brick wall (NOT 100mph worth of damage). Reason being: both cars hitting each other are both absorbing roughly equal amounts of impact force (if they are the same car). Each car has a crumple zone (the front end) that absorbs the impact.
Shows you how tough Nascar stock cars really are, I've seen them hit a wall head on at 180 and they turn out better than that
James Tessman roll cage def helps
@Gary Stump they do that now but a decade ago it was just concrete with tires behind which did nothing to help the driver and the car
@@joeduda6333 Yeah, I think it was the death of Dale Earnhardt Sr. that really kick-started the shock-absorbent trend in NASCAR track upgrades. I know they'd been talking about it for years prior, but his accident really got things moving. (absolutely no pun intended)
@@JonesNate very right sir
Modern monocoque cars actually are more or less a full roll cage just with non structural steel and plastic to make them look pretty and a chassis isn't needed for strength either it's all incorporated into the body
At the hands of someone else’s stupidity I was in a crash at 100 mph. I don’t remember the impact itself. But I come here when I start to ask myself how the hell I even survived. It was a very long recovery. But I am still here today. Still walking. Above all, still a mother. Praise God.
Thats one of the few times Jamie and Adam actually laugh nervously XD Win
There are 2 conclusions that a person can draw from this video. 1) Don't drive your car at 100 mph; 2) Don't drive straight into a solid wall at 100 mph.
Best show ever produced!
Anyone else notice the twin FE ford big blocks powering the rig? They sure do sound nice.
It wouldn't matter where you were in that car, seatbelts or no, I'm pretty sure there would've been no survivors.
Trunk looks the safest. Maybe needs a seatbelt or something, though.
My thoughts too Jacob.
At the very least a broken wrist.
yeah, seat belts not help you at 100 mph, the engine is at the back of your spine!!
@@aspenrebel best believe if I’m going 100 I’m 😐 and foot on break 😭
The crashes, the explosions, the things that go boom were always the best part of Mythbusters.
50 mph: good
100 mph: SQUISHED!
50 mph was good?
Crazy thing is that Daewoo couldn't go 100 mph under its own power.
*Mythbusters should mythbust the writings on the truth contest website!*
What are you talking about? There's nothing to bust wrong.
Jamie was right because he was talking about the impact received by the car that got hit by the two trucks, not the impact between two cars or trucks for that matter. But 8 years has passed since, so I should get over it.
I agree completely ... they were talking about force imparted to that car between those two, I don't think they measured this from the correct frame of reference. They showed each car would get the 50mph impact... but that's simply because the force was distributed to both, measuring directly between should get the full amount, i think.
Like a bug into a windshield!
Bruh half of that car went into Hogwarts 💀
i will never ride in a car again. thanks, mythbusters!
I went to highschool with 2 guys who were killed in a 100+ mph crash into a tree. Similar damage. They were of course drinking. Car went off side of road on a slight turn and struck tree on right front passenger side driving tree all the way back to package tray above read seat. Bent the car into nearly a 90, knocked driver side door off knocked steering column and dashboard out of the car, threw the engine down the road. The front passenger bucket seat was smashed into the rear. They hauled that car around on a trailer to all our local schools for a year. I looked at it once but did not want to look at it again. Made me sick to my stomach at the time since I knew those guys. The force and level of damage at those speeds both to a vehicle as well as it's occupants is as bad as one can imagine. I see this video and memory of it comes right back even though it happened in 1969.
A car with double the speed has four times the kinetic energy. The formula is 1/2*m*v^2
That's crazy my brother got rear ended by a truck going 85mph
Did he come out ok? 😟
speechless is the right word for that......
NOOO THEY WRECKED A RARE DAEWOO
August 15th is the three year anniversary of my car accident. To this day I can't sit in a passenger seat or feel a seatbelt across my chest in that position. We hit a tree at 100 mph. The full story is on my page. But I have struggled so much. I was diagnosed with PTSD right after making my video about the accident. I never know what to think when seeing stuff like this. I saw and remember everything. Had a good two seconds to realize I was about to be obliterated. Those two seconds man...WHY I got "embrace every second" tattooed on my arm. Too bad my PTSD prevents me from doing so. It's so fucked up. A man in my area died instantly from a very similar crash only a month after mine. Has absolutely tortured me since. Why us? Why did they die and we got to walk away? It has truly haunted me. I felt my neck almost snap the tissue in my right breast is permanently damaged just from the seatbelt trying to hold me to the seat, my back swells up everyday and I have severe constant spasms. And most people don't even get that? They just fucking die. We were conscious to talk to emergency personnel. They looked like they were talking to ghosts. I could go on for hours about the horrors of the accident and of my PTSD. I can honestly say the PTSD has been worse than the crash itself, simply because it has forced me to relive it. If anyone you know is struggling with PTSD please support them the best you can, you can't see their wounds but they can feel them and believe me they need you. My biggest question always remains though why the fuck did we survive going 100 mph into a tree in a fucking Saturn ion airbags never even deployed and we all WALKED away!? People say it was a miracle but I can't find anything in it honestly. One of the other passengers ended up being a rapist. Another started doing meth after the crash (he really was a good guy just had so many troubles and no way to cope properly). The driver got busted doing 100 mph again. And I just developed a gruesome lifelong disease that stops me from living this second chance at life. The whole thing is sickening and depressing. I see no reason why any of us had a reason to live through it. I'm having a very hard time coming up to the anniversary.
shean325 can go eat shit. I'm sorry you experienced such a horrific incident. I don't think you were doing 100 though. You wouldn't have survived at 70 mph, and that's the national speed limit on motorways and dual carriageways where I'm from (I'm English btw). You might have been doing 65 at most, judging by the ongoing injuries.
MrSupercar55 crashed into the back of another car then at 90mph then rolled 4 times in a van. they decided to break check us to a complete stop for whatever reason... whole family walked away i have permanent calcium growth on my skull because of the fracture that healed itself and a stitching scar thats all. my brother passed away and 6 of us survived. people do survive these freak accidents.
MrSupercar55 I don't understand it either, the science of it says we should be dead. But these are the facts of the accident. While we were talking to police they measured the skid marks it was 220 feet. They said to make that kind of mark we had to be going 120 mph on impact and that we should all be dead. The other people in the car fought with me saying we were going 110. But I had looked over at the speedometer barely five seconds before we came upon the curve and hit the tree. We were right at 100. The car did not decelerate at all. Driver tried to drop from fifth to first in half a second and the car died we just glided straight into the tree at the same speed. Thank you for your concern but yes like Rito said it is somehow possible to survive crashes like this. A girl I went to high school with recently went down the wrong way on the freeway and when she got up to 100 mph she hit three different cars. She was the only one who died. Everyone else was okay except for one car who's two people had severe injuries. It's possible. It's not common and it doesn't make sense but it's obviously happened.
My step-daughter , her fiancé and daughter were all killed when someone T-boned them going 100+ --- you're are a very lucky girl, and instead of asking yourself "why" … try and embrace life you were given again. when it's your time, it's your time .. and it clearly wasn't yours. best of luck to you all.
cheesy jokes and more D: wow bro that must be a brutal scene
I survived wrecking in top of 5th gear on my cbr. No breaks or bruises but my insides barely work. Assisted peeing and pooing legs tremble with use arms feel too heavy to use. Multiple lesions of ligaments brain damage damaged kidneys liver spleen contusions across vertebrae and ribs torn miniscus in both knees torn ligament from big toe to heel. Jaw displaced broken and missing teeth. Blurred vision.
And mind you I’m 8months from the wreck with these currently. Full race suit on is the only reason I’m here. Best $2k you’ll ever spend. Although I most days rn don’t wish I had survived.
Now to find an unoccupied brick wall
The ad at the end of the video is so sad. No more Mythbusters. One of the few shows on TV that made you smarter, not dumber, is long since gone.
Ive seen a car bounce off a wall at 180kmh and roll 10 times before going over the top of another wall, He walked out of hospital the next day. His car was a standard late model honda with standard seat belt and no roll cage.
Twice the speed = four times the kinetic energy, no surprises here..
Except for that V8 powered winch, I mean srsly?
Try a brick wall or the wall going at that speed vs a stationary brick wall then test that instead of the inaccuracy presumption.
My kid just got a ticket for going. 96 mph in his lunch from school he said he was wearing the sit belt , so I show him this .
That'll buff right out !
“That car got into an accident at 100 mph.”
*”What car?”* 👁 👄 👁
do not try this at car
@jimmypbrockman Actually, you are correct in your calculation. The forces involved in the 100mph collision are also doubled, so the two collisions are not the same. Because a decent wall doesn't give way, all the energy and forces are exerted back on the crashing car (Newton's third law). So the single car at 100mph would experience twice the force than two cars at 50mph. In case of the two cars, they receive the force of impacting a wall at 50mph, not 100mph. They also said this on the show.
wall : 10000 dollars car : 5000 dollars reaction at 1:17 priceless
these are some expensive walls and cars
My thoughts and prayers go out to all the cars that selflessly sacrificed themselves for this episode 😢
Force of an impact is exponential with speed
God I remember watching this as a kid. That was over 10 years ago. My god
@dEndiProductions if they doubled it again and went 200MPH the car would obviously vanish from excistance, 50mph - quarter of the car gone, 100mph - half the car gone, 200mph - the whole car gone, magic
I survived a car crash going 105 and I walked out of the hospital with just a fractured back and 3 stitches
So i drove home, at 100 miles per hour, just to see what it feels like to fly
the whole front end disintegrated! Epic Win!
1/2mv^2... double the speed = 4x the damage!
You MIGHT have a slim chance of survival...if you were in the trunk
I WANT MORE!!! Do 150mph!!!
@spikeyeyerish Two identical cars hitting each other at 50 mph is the same as a car hitting an identical stationary car at 100 mph.
Udyr running into a Nasus late game
Double the speed, quadruple the force. That's about the only thing I remember from GCSE Physics
I just took a driver training course to dismiss a ticket in texas and the course clearly states that two cars driving at 60 mph each colliding with each otther head on produce a 120 mph impact. Obviously they dont watch Mythbusters. DTA driving school should watch that episode.
My friend just died going 100mph off the road. I wanted to see what 100 mph looked like. I shouldn't have ever looked this up.
i think the crash dummy survive, don't you think.....LOL
@jvmbatista Oh Hell Yeah I Wanna See a 200MPH Crash. I think at that point we don't need Car Crushers.
100 mph. that's the same speed as Marvel Whizzer
Who the hell is watching this in 2020 in quarantine because we need entertainment?
There's a photo floating around the 'net of a crash from many years ago involving some guys I knew. Over 100 mph into a tree. Hit at right front corner of car and drove the tree all the way back to rear package tray above rear seat. Front end removed from car and engine flung further down the road. All within nanoseconds. Seriously bad shit.
Many people have died like this, going 100mph. Inevitable death.
Which is why over 65+ I'm in full attention mode
I take it the gas tank was empty?
@FadoDeo4444 Nope. Whether you are stopped quickly by a brick wall or by an oncoming car, the damage done to your car is only a function of your speed. So, 50 mph into an oncoming 50 mph car (of equal mass) has the same effect on you as 50 mph into a brick wall. BTW, if your speed is 2 times greater (100 mph) before stopping suddenly, then the damage you suffer is roughly FOUR times greater; that's because the ENERGY of the collision varies with the square of your speed change in stopping.
Crushed like some beer can.
It doesnt matter what you own, you are going to be Liquid at the end of the accident. Show this to your kids and pray they dont try and find out how it works. If they do, their wont be an open or closed casket.
HOLY CRAP THATS FANTASTIC!!!!!!
wonder what will happen if the car reached 200mph??
The results of Fifth Gear setting the world record for the fastest car crash test with their 120 mph crash test were no different to this one, so there’s really no sense in going any faster.
One can only hope. . . . .
I need to slow down!
That's the only way a daewoo will ever get to 100mph
That appears to be a Daewoo Lanos. I had the misfortune of owning one of those many years ago.
@FadoDeo4444 Oh wait... I'm sorry. Now I see what you're asking. But the answer is still "nope" because of that "energy varies with the square of speed" business that I mentioned earlier. A 100-mph car hitting a brick wall involves twice as much total energy as two 50-mph equal-mass cars colliding head-on.
But according to Fast and Furious you should be able to just not only drive away but still finish the race.
@Ormzen Not really, considering there's nothing about which to think.
That'll buff right out.
Imagine a head on crash between two F-22s flying at 1,000 mph
An 80s Toyota Hilux will barely have a scratch on it, but the wall will shatter into pieces
We wonder the same thing. The Metric system a huge pain. Trying to go by mm instead of inches for everything doesn't work out too well. It is like taking little baby steps. KM is an odd measurement for mileage. Why? The mile is 5,280 feet. The kilometer? Equal to one thousand meters. That's a ridiculous way to measure it. Kilogram? 1 kilogram = 2.20462262 pounds. So every time a kilogram is mentioned, for every 5kg, that's an additional pound. We just say 2 pounds and are done with it.
i never seen jamie laugh like this
Well I've hit a tree at 105mph we all survived 💁♀️
Sorry to hear
Jesus christ. A tree out of all things? How did you hit it?
@Rich 91 yeah, probably. Ppl hit trees at 40 and die. 105mph seems alil too unrealistic but then again survivability for crashes is mainly luck
that's gonna leave a mark
i guess you can cut something in half with blunt force, though one half of the target will be turned into dust.
The damage to the car would be tripled, and a pristine Nokia would be embedded in the concrete wall.
and i heard a story about a mother and child getting hit by a car at 100 mph.
Scary
Yeah, the people who defended the guy really need to see this video to see how fast the speeding truly is and the damage it could deal.
Now I know how imma head out
That would sting a little
Oh my stars and g-spots!!!!
Thats insane!!
@ScarsAndBrusis ...youtube has ads at the beginning? O_o
I'm serious. I live in Mexico, and I have never run into ads inside CZcams prior to some videos. Do you people on the US have them? Those bastards.
I had to come to this video because i got in a wreck where i hit a tree going 83mph a few months ago and i can not remember the sound and the initial impact. everything else i remember but hearing this sound makes my whole body numb and i don’t know why but right after they’re laughing about it and it just kind of disgusts me given the fact that that’s what happens to peoples cars all of the time and many times people don’t live.
Not the Daewoo!
that's 100 mph? Looks more like 120 or so
pshhh, this is how chuck norris squeezes lemons
This makes for a pretty good case against speeding.
That was me in there, walked out, zero scratches. Thanks for watching.
😁🤣
@FadoDeo4444 ... Nope. Hitting an oncoming car (and coming to a complete stop) is just as damaging as hitting the proverbial "brick wall" and coming to a complete stop. It's the "coming to a complete stop" (in the same very-short amount of time) that is the key. Newton's second law of motion guarantees it.
Next stop, Auto Body Shop.
The car would turn to dust and vanish into a blackhole instantly. lol
