In a recent episode of Mythbusters that my boyfriend and I watched, the myth was that an airman back in WWII (or I, can't remember) fell out of his turret and fell 22,000 feet onto the glass roof of a French train station. However, just before he hit the roof, a bomb blew inside. The explosion cushioned the airman.
So, to test this, Tori and Kari disassembled an airbag to use as the "explosion". Inside, they found a penny.
My question is this: was the penny just there by some coincidence, or did the manufacturers put it there? If it was intentional, why?
Thanks, all!!
