Compact car vs. 747
 
I wasn't sure where to post this, and I apologize if this has already made it to this board. (I tried to search for it, but came up empty).

So for those curious, this video shows what happens when a 3000 lb. car tries to drive behind a 747 with just one engine at speed. (Don't worry, it's a controlled test, not some reality video.)

The Power of Wind

My favorite part is when the host explains that the pilot can't leave the engine running for more than 20 seconds without ripping up the asphalt! :eek:

As it's a UK TV programme, I'm very sorry that my money has been wasted on producing a piece of rubbish like this.

Well I know now to never try to drive behind a 747! ;)
