International
A staged demonstra+tion of jetblast power.
I work at Hartsfield Jackson Internation in Atlanta. This is from the training video from the drivers training class.The fist truck that you see in the video is a large truck that is actualy pulling the 2nd truck and is then released. The truck that is blown over is a 70,s model ford truc that the motor and transmition have been removed. Just sheet metal hanging an the frame.
The cool thing about this was the environmental department sued the makers of the training film for environmental hazard since it was dumped into the bay.
didnt those guys try to prove this mthy? they couldnt get a hand a big enough commercial jet engine. 2 bad they didnt have this footage :p

By Frankm 1145914672 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removecause the insurance company didnt allow that.
instead they use a hollywood effect machine that create wind. not powerfull enough to throw a car.
There are many videos available including at least one right here at Metacafe showing footage of an Air France 747 taking off from St. Martin island where the runway extends within 100 feet from the shoreline with a beach in between. Jets taking off from that runway blast directly at beachgoers and while the blast appears powerful enough to blow a poodle or two off into the sea bathers just use it to do a little body surf, nothing spectacular. No way this could move even a small car, let alone a truck.

By jwhyte1 1166206395 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemovePeople on the beach are almost as close as the truck in the video but the only thing that gets blown away is the jet blast myth. In order to move a truck from that distance the jet would have to be inside a tunnel otherwise the required energy gets dissipated after 5-10 feet.
By Guynextfloor 1166337873 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWell, then it wasnt really a good demonstration then, I mean if the motor and tranny are gone, then like you said it just shows t blowing sheet metal around, which isn't that big of a feat.
By AK420 1145600754 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeit would make too much of a differance except a little less distance.
By jwhyte1 1166206476 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removewatched something similar on Top Gear if that wasnt the actual one
By Oathbreaker 1142418340 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI lived in Atlanta for 12 days and I never saw that stuff. U R a liar. The Tupolev actually is at the threshold preparing for take off and the FAA car was trying to pull him over for a drug test. The pilot panicked and reved up. The whole thing was hushed up. SO GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT.

By query 1150205520 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveYou can't see it with the size and quality of this little clip, but the car is first pulled by the car in front of it, then released and in a good quality version of this tape you can actually see a cable which pulls the car with great speed into the bay.
The engines on that jet were never actually running for obvious reasons.
I have seen jet engines do some great damage through my years as aircraft mechanic, big stands were blown over high blast-fences and I've actually seen a big piece of concrete slab being blown into the horizontal stabilizer of the jet which was running full power at that time. (B767)
toy.
Why they make this vid ?
there was a same item on top gear but it was better because they used a 2cv and a mondaeo
