That is awsome! ;D ;D

Kinda strange how in the first half, they blur out the airline name, but in the second half they don't. :-?

Mythbusters did this too. They used a taxi (that's what the myth was about: A taxi mistakenly drives through a red light behind a runway with a jet at full power), a school bus, and a cessna. They also used a 747.

I noticed that they only used two of the engines in both videos. I wonder why.

They couldn't afford enough fuel to run all 4 for both runs, so they just used two engines to do it twice. ;D
