Mythbusters : Crash and Burn
According to myth, in a high-speed, head-on collision, a pair of trucks fused together upon impact, sealing the unfortunate car and driver between them. The team needs a traffic-free stretch of freeway. By amazing coincidence, they find one in Alameda that was specially constructed by the makers of Matrix Reloaded to film their own head-on collision between two semi-trailers. Also, Kari hosts some urban legends about Russia's national drink, vodka.
