So, on the season finale last night, MB did the toilet bomb getaway sequence from Lethal Weapon 2.
For those that have never seen it, Danny Glover is on a toilet and realize a pressure sensitive bomb is hooked up so that if he gets off the bom will blow. So the bomb squad pours liquid nitrogen over the bomb to slow down the trigger mechanism long enough for Mel Gibson to pull him off into a bathtub and get under a bomb blanket before it goes off.
Now of course they survive in the movie. And now MB is testing to see what would really happen. Well, lo and behold, it all works. It fact, it works so well in reality that they could have just walked out of the house and be long gone before the bomb went off.
I find that amazing since usually hollywood "science" is easily debunked. So the guy that came up with that stunt did his research or just got plain lucky.
