This is a MythBusters experiment. The story will be explained in this text right now. One day, 2 good ol' boys saw a raccoon. They chased it and tried to shoot it with a gun. The raccoon ran away and hid in a 3 ft wide drainage pipe. One of the men poured gasoline down the pipe while he was crawling towards the raccoon. He asked for a lighter. He threw it down the pipe but it didn't egnite. So he went down deep into the pipe and tried again, and BOOOM! An explosion blew the man and the raccoon out of the pipe. The man flew over a house and landed in a tree on the other side. The MythBusters tested this myth by burying a drainage pipe into the ground. They placed a crash test dummie named "Buster" into the pipe with gasoline and a toy raccoon and then set the gas on fire. An explosion blew "Buster" and the raccoon out of the pipe. Oh, you might be wondering why there's a wheelchair there. Why? Jamie Hyneman (read more about him on wikipedia) placed a wheelchair where he guested "Buster" will land. He missed.
