video 1 of takeoff thrust Talk about a "blow job". *hee*

Video 2 of Sonic piano Sorry. This put me to sleep. If they had put a few more game-cut-scenes while the guy was keying, and not just his hands on the keys... *hmr* whatever. *zzz*

Hehe, I remember watching that on Top Gear a few years back. They love doing crazy stuff like that :)

Nice touch with the Lord of the Rings music track for the blow job. :x)

When played on a piano, the similarity of "Sonic" to the music of turn-of-the-century Dada composer Erik Satie really comes out. His stuff is usually a lot slower, but it has the same sort of simple, catchy repetition. Here are some samples.

I always liked his Gymnopdie No. 1 - it's in my playlist right now. Just goes to show you don't need a lot of sound and fury to make something beautiful.

The mithbusters guys failed to make the car blow tho they didn`t have such a big plane.

They did the jet engine trick on MythBusters, but unfortunately beause of safety reasons they weren't allowed to use a real airplane. The truck-mounted jet engines they rented were not adequate enough to flip the car over either.

*chuckles* - I always used to play the Sonic theme tunes on my recorder! Still do, on occasion, along with all the other game music that I consider memorable; Warcraft II, Mechwarrior II, Deus Ex and the like. I'd play Tangerine Dream if I could, but I'd need a whole host of recorders . . .

Physics shows that the only engines (that an airplane would use) capable of flipping a car are Turbofans and Ramjets. 707's through 767's are Turbojets and can't flip a car. The 777, the 787, and possibly the 7A7 all will/do use Turbofans, so they might flip a car, the new Airbus (A380 I think?) also uses Turbofans. The C5 has Turbofans as well.
