Myth Busted! The Airplane WILL Fly Off The Conveyor!!

The Myth Busters busted the myth that an airplane could not take off from a giant conveyor belt matching the speed of the wheels in the oposite direction. The airplane flew!

Read the closed thread and have a good laugh.

They also said they couldn't start a fire with 2 sticks...

I'm putting money on this one getting locked. And read by everyone that sees it after that happens. And if they will ban someone on here, then we can go read all that person's posts...

Well, I didn't get to see it since I was driving at that time but I'm glad that my answer was confirmed. Good call Geico.

Seeing as how the scenario given in the original thread would be physically impossible to duplicate, I STILL say there is no way that thing flies.

I am right. Everyone else is wrong. End of discussion.
