Talking Our English friends again

We have several times seen videos from the Top Gear show from BBC when they do stuff with cars.

Yesterdays show was another peak moment.

To test what will happen to a car in high sidewinds they lined up a British Airways 747 on full takeoff trust and drove to cars up behind it across the runway. They were about 300 feet behind the plane. I am sorry that I can't provide any videos, I am out of town at the moment.

The cars just were thrown away for several hundreds feet, rolling and trashing like they were a scrap of paper. Just amazing what a force there is behind four big jetengines!

It was just crazy ROFL
