Disclaimer: Don't try this at home... Ever! These folks are trained Professionals....

Adam Savage... Jaime Hyneman... these two guys have close to 30 years experimence in special effects between them, and every week on the Discovery Channel they put urban legends and myths and heresay to the test with Known scientific tests and experiments (and sometimes they go a bit crazy here with the science and love to cause mass destruction)!

On Tonight's Episode, Jaime, Adam and the gang take up gliding (yes Gliding as in flying a glider).

But this Gilder isn't your Typical Glider... it's a Glider made out of Solid Concrete.

That's right, Adam and Jaime are going to see if they can make a glider out of Concrete.. and if they can get this 'flying cinderblock' airborne.

So sit back and relax (make sure your seatbelts are fastened and your trays are in the upright position as we take to the skies in a flying concrete Glider).

(Provided that Adam and Jaime can get one built and airborne!)

Then in the side story (Death Train Vortex) can a high speed passing train, actually suck a person that is standing near the tracks under the wheels and kill them? (Believe me this is quite graphic..)

So let's not get too close to the tracks, okay?
