500 mph steel plow splits car in half + Super-slow motion by @mes on 3Speak
Steel sled / plow going at 500 mph slices a car in two! 🤯 I have included super-slow motion footage at the end of the video. - Sources: - First part from Discovery channel / Mythbusters: - Second ...

This is rocket-powered Superplow versus front engine vehicle going at 500 miles an hour in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. That was one of the coolest things I've ever seen! Wow! That was so much faster than I thought it was going on to it! Oh, that was great! It was like here one second, and then gone! Gone in a sixth of a second, the rockets fire, and 75,000 pounds of thrust, throw the superplow along the track, a spectacular 550 miles per hour. And when the dust and shrapnel settle, the team discovers a spectacular result. I cannot believe we split the car in half. Look at it, it went right down the tape line. We have two perfect halves of the car. Did it actually split the engine in half? Yeah, check it out. This is what we couldn't do in Wisconsin. We split the engine block. Well, when you get that much force, that is crazy. With that complete bifurcation, the guys got exactly what they came for and what you wanted. except there seems to be something missing. Slad! But where is the plow? Rockets went so much faster than I expected. It was just, shoot! And the car, we couldn't even see it was split in two until we walked up here, because there was just so much dirt in the air. We got up here, half a blue car, half a yellow car. Still can't find the witch. That's because it's in a thousand tiny pieces. After cutting a slice through the car, the solid steel superplow disintegrated on impact with a concrete barrier. That was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I mean, we do a lot of explosions off the show, we do a lot of car crashes, but I have never seen a rocket-powered superplow cut a car in half. And we did it. We replicated the results of this myth.
