  • - 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: Oh! Gav: Right through the zero.

  • - Oh, God! - That was so clean.

  • 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: Crunch.

  • Dan: Oh, look at the ripple go all along the...

  • 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: Oh, close-up. - Gav: This is satisfying.

  • Glad we got that metal there.

  • - Yeah, that's solid. - That tin-foil effect again.

  • - On the hard metal. - Oh, look.

  • - The mirror hit the car and then flung out - It popped out.

  • - Yeah. - It was like a catapult.

  • 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.

  • - See? - Yeah, the side smashed off as well.

  • - Lovely. - So I think we should destroy it even more.

  • - All right. - All right, should we flip it over?

  • 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: Whoa. - Gav: You see all the dust get kicked up?

  • Dan: Oh, man.

  • All the tires popped. Everything just smushed.

  • Gav: Even the air being forced out through the windows

  • 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.

  • Feel free to subscribe to the Slow Mo Guys

  • and we'll see you in a future episode

  • of "The Super Slow Show"

  • where we'll probably break something again.

  • Hi, guys, we can't wait to share

  • our extremely slow adventure with you.

  • Yeah, click here for all the latest updates

  • happening almost daily on "The Super Slow Show."

  • Why do they put the button on this side?

  • 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.

  • ( chuckles )

- Hello, I'm Gav. - I'm Dan.
