The wheels suddenly start spinning at 400 mph in the opposite direction. Does the plane suddenly fly backwards at 200 mph? No, but the tires explode and the plane careens into the terminal killing everyone aboard. (it was on Mythbusters)

Does the plane suddenly fly backwards at 200 mph? No. The tires explode, the plane crashes, all aboard die, and somewhere between 100 and 200 children are raised by anguish ridden single parents to become felons who steal your wallet and rape your dog. (damn you lilk)

Not only was there an error in there experiment it was a GLARING error. Surprised you didn't catch it. The "conveyor" belt was moving at the take-off speed of the plane not the speed of the plane. It would be ludicrous to assume that the plane's ground speed is not much faster than the take-off speed. I would be surprised if it is not 3x the take-off speed. The plane could have easily been doing 2x the speed of the truck and taken off. Oh the thing about the cockroaches surviving was blatantly wrong too. You have to irradiate the entire bug's habitat in order to determine which will survive long-term and at what level of exposure. Also I think I recorded a little of the previous show about the chicken. If that chicken had been dead awhile it would have made it harder to remove the feathers so their attempts to bust the myth about a hurricane or tornado blowing the feathers off was probably not an accurate experiment either. Not to mention a live chicken would move around changing the impact points of the wind.

If you tie the fucking plane to a building, and roll that treadmill, it doesn't matter HOW fast you run the treadmill after a certain point, you're never going to pull it free because there's no more 'force' against the plane. It's just the fucking wheels spinning.

I actually pointed this out MANY pages ago...I have no idea where though (somewhere back where I was Quaffetti and was dumb enough to start a thread like this). I still don't think in ideal circumstances that the plane could take off.
