22,000 Foot Fall, Lights On or Off

Synopsis:
Get ready! Jamie and Adam take the plunge on a myth that originated in World War ll and detonate the biggest explosion in Mythbusters history! The incredible and seemingly impossible myth: a WW ll turret gunner falls 22,000 feet only to be saved by the explosion of a 1,000 pound bomb beneath him which cushions his fall. Can this be true? Meanwhile, Grant, Kari and Tory spark into action and visit a bulb which has been burning for 106 years; in a moment of enlightenment, they conclusively turn the lights off on this myth.
