Eng 2 and 3 running- 1 and 4 shutdown. They are not a full thrust either, rather a derated setting running approx 10% below max thrust :yup:

But just think how many of us might have tried that without fully understanding the consequences of our actions??? :hmmm: :lol:

Now we all understand, we would stand a better chance of making it across if we hit it at speed in something with a sleek body shape....:idea: :lol:

It's Top Gear alright. Remember the episode and it was just chucked in for effect but still cool. Funny how Mythbusters couldn't do the same thing when they attempted it.
