- Hello, I'm Gav. - I'm Dan.
Welcome to the "The Super Slow Show."
- We're at the drop zone. - Yes, we are.
That means we're about to drop something.
It might just be this car.
Yeah, this is from the catapult video.
Right. We couldn't sell it,
and we thought it's not sufficiently trashed enough.
We definitely dented it up.
- Yeah. - But it's not annihilated.
It's not completely crushed.
Dan:
-
So we've got a 40-ton crane,
and we're gonna lift it about 80 feet up into the air.
Wonder what speed it's gonna go when it hits the floor.
That is up there.
It really is.
We're going to be getting this on two Phantoms,
one that's wide, a thousand frames,
one a little bit tighter, 2,000 frames a second.
We've also got a GoPro in the back,
looking forwards.
And another one on this fat hook.
This is the biggest hook I've ever seen.
- It's massive. - Massive.
We also thought that an impact into the dirt
would be too soft,
so we've replaced the floor
with, like, an inch of steel.
So this should be horrendous.
( theme music playing )
( crane whirring )
Well, it's definitely something we couldn't do in your back garden, for sure.
Absolutely not.
That crane just lifted it like it was nothing.
It's like, all right, here we go, 80 feet.
It's absolutely dwarfed the ruler.
Imagine being in the front seat,
how scary that would be.
- You wouldn't live. There's no way. - No, there's no way.
- All right. - Although, I reckon
that when it hits,
the car's going to come forwards towards the Phantom
- because of the way it is. - All right.
I'm really looking forward to this.
- You wanna get it going? - I'm ready.
All right. Three! Two! One! Drop!
Oh! Oh!
( laughing )
That was just a little bounce.
Yeah. At one point it hit the floor. I think it was in mid-air again.
Gav: I think, if there's an area,
where it's, like, back off the ground again.
Wow. Oh, we smashed the windows, though. We got more points.
Should we go check it out?
Yeah.
- Oh. - Look at this.
- ( gasps ) - You can still see the 100-point marks on the window.
It fell out perfectly.
Look, it's just laid out,
Dan: And the GoPro's still attached to it.
I think the only way you could've done that
is to drop a car from a crane.
I think you're right. I absolutely think you're right.
Gav: Oh, that is a flat front.
Dan: Oh, man, that is squished.
'Cause that's not like hitting a car, where it's uneven.
That just absolutely crushed it.
Oh, man.
Sound guy's definitely not gonna be pleased this time.
I mean, at least last time you could drive it afterwards.
This, I think, is unsalvageable.
I'd just say it's more breezy.
Gav:
Dan:
It just drives into itself.
Look at the dust it kicked out from the front.
It's, like, wafted all the dust away.
Oh, look, the mirror.
The million points has gone flying.
You can see one mirror...
What are the chances?
- Dan:
Glad we got that metal there.
-
That's amazing.
So then it took off.
How high did it even get?
It must've been, like, an inch.
That's--
I like that I'm leaning down to try and see under.
Yeah, I did the same. You beat me there.
Nope, that's completely useless.
Idiots.
Oh, we get to see the window smash.
See, there's the side door.
-
Yeah, let's flip it over and we'll destroy it some more.
If you could open the doors, which you can't,
there's also enough room to actually sit in there.
- That's not good enough. - That's not good enough.
- Definitely not good enough. - I think we should change that.
What have you got in mind?
Ta-da. This guy is a concrete K-rail,
weighs about 3 1/2 metric tons,
in English, so--
What's that in American?
About 8,000 pounds.
Ooh, what's that in stone?
- Wait, 8,000 divided by 14. - We haven't got time for this.
- Yeah. - So, I think drop it on the roof lengthways,
and see how much carnage we can cause,
'cause I wanna completely finish this thing off.
- All right. - Yeah?
- Let's hoist 'er up. - Cool.
So you don't often see a roof-on collision, do you?
It's either a head-on or a fender bender or a side--
So this is simulating a plane nose-diving
into the roof of a car.
With a concrete block on it for some reason.
- Yeah. - Yeah. You ready?
Let's turn this thing into a pancake.
- Dan: Cool. - Or a hot dog.
Three, two, one, drop!
- Oh... - That is beefy.
The deep bassy thud.
That has smushed the car.
Can you hear it hissing?
Should we get in there?
- Yeah. - Let's check it out.
Ah, the delicious hiss of the Freon.
Oh, man.
You would have to get into some serious trouble
for your car to look like that.
I mean, it's certainly popped the tires.
- It popped all the tires. - I'm not sure if they were already popped.
I don't think I've ever seen a car
more annihilated than this,
unless you're talking like that's been crushed at a scrappy.
Yeah, one that's cubed.
Yeah, this is the most crushed and smushed
a car has ever been that I've seen.
Almost sad.
Sound guy will be sad. That's for sure.
All right, let's go look at the footage.
That just looks so wrong.
It's going so fast.
A concrete rail should not be in the air like that.
- Dan:
Dan:
All the tires popped. Everything just smushed.
Gav:
is significant, like you see, like a... ( imitates air whooshing )
That car probably weighs a metric ton and a half, maybe.
That K-rail is more than twice the weight of the car,
a much smaller surface area.
And then you can see-- because obviously the engine is the hardest part.
The other end, the back end, went all the way down.
Any air that was in the car
is now out and gone.
Like, there's no space in there.
That's beautiful and horrific.
Some people pay a lot of money to lower their cars.
All you need to do is drop a concrete block on it.
- Yeah. - Look at it.
I mean, you say that like this was cheap,
like this was the cheap version.
Good point.
Way more expensive to do it like this.
Fair enough, yeah.
Hopefully you enjoyed that mindless destruction.

It could easily have just been just there,
but it's on this side of me.
It's like somewhere around here.
Yeah, it's right there.
