MrBeast's Destruction Experiments: Trains, Jet-Powered Cars, a Billion Orbeez, and a 400-Foot Spider-Man Climb
MrBeast ミスタービースト
The video is a series of large-scale stunts that Jimmy (MrBeast) presents as tests "nobody has ever done before." The plan includes a train against a brick wall, a car jumping a row of buses, a car dropped into a pool of Orbeez, record-scale elephant toothpaste, a skyscraper climb in a working Spider-Man suit, and a hydraulic press against a Lamborghini. Each segment opens with a question, and most include the crew guessing the outcome, so the video is structured as a string of predictions followed by results.
Can a Brick Wall Stop a Train?
The first test pits a freight train against a brick wall that Jimmy says is 20 feet tall and three feet thick. He predicts it is "not going down easy." The train goes through it anyway. Jimmy concedes the wall did not stop the train and says a later test will try again with five semi trucks.
How Many Buses Can a Car Jump?
Jimmy bought a car, built a large ramp, and lined up 12 buses. The crew's guesses ranged from "at least three" to four, and one person predicted the car would clear all 12 and land in the woods. The car did not clear even one. It went straight through a bus, which someone compared to a Fast & Furious scene.
Jimmy then said the first run was only a reference. The real experiment used a car fitted with jet engines. It hit the ramp much faster, but the result was no better. It knocked a bus over and ended up embedded in the side of it. A crew member asked how it kept doing that, and another joked to Jimmy that he couldn't park there.
A Car Dropped Into a Billion Orbeez
The next setup was a pool holding what Jimmy says is 1 billion Orbeez. The plan was to drop crew member Tareq's car from a helicopter and see whether the Orbeez would cushion the fall. Tareq had not been told. He realized what was happening when he saw his car hanging from the helicopter and an iPad showing the empty parking spot where he had parked earlier that day.
Tareq first assumed Jimmy would "just lower it nicely." Instead Jimmy had the helicopter climb higher and then released the car. It landed upright in the pool, and Tareq called it "a perfect landing" and better than his own parallel parking. When the floodgates were opened and the Orbeez drained, the car turned out to be badly damaged. Jimmy brushed this off, saying of one broken piece, "You don't even really need this part."
Then came the twist. The car in the pool was not Tareq's. The team had picked up his real car, set it down in a random field, and dropped a replica into the Orbeez. Tareq replied, "I don't like you right now."
Rematch: Semi Trucks vs. the Train
The video returns to the train, this time facing a barrier of semi trucks that Jimmy describes as so large his voice echoed off them. Most of the crew predicted the train would win. One person said they had faith in the trucks. The team also put crash-test dummies modeled on the crew members into the setup to see what would happen to "them."
For a moment Jimmy thought the trucks might hold. Then the train snapped the trucks in half. He said the train could have dragged the wreckage for a couple more miles. One dummy lost an arm, and the crew went looking for a missing head. Everyone agreed the train won.
The Meteor House (Sponsored Segment)
This segment was sponsored by the game Hello Neighbor 2. Jimmy built a scaled real-life replica of the game's house and dropped three "meteors" onto it. Each crew member got a realistic mannequin of themselves and could hide it anywhere in the house. The stated goal was to find the best place to survive a meteor strike.
The hiding strategies varied. One person stuffed their mannequin into a car trunk. Chris put his on the couch, reasoning that the pillow would cushion the impact. Another placed theirs up high, betting the meteor would miss that section. After the first meteor, Karl's mannequin was still in place. The second meteor was set on fire before it was dropped. Afterward Chris's mannequin was intact and Chandler's was not. The third meteor finished off Karl ("Goodbye, Karl"), while another participant's mannequin survived. Jimmy closed by saying viewers now knew where to hide. Between drops he did a scripted promotion for the game.
Elephant Toothpaste at 100 Times Scale
After a small demonstration of elephant toothpaste, the reaction in which two chemicals produce a burst of foam, Jimmy showed containers holding 100 times that amount. He had everyone find a safe spot. Chandler was assigned to pull the trigger and then run, and he noted he was "100% in the danger zone."
The foam filled an entire swimming pool. It steamed so heavily that someone said it looked like the pool was on fire. Jimmy declared it the new world record for elephant toothpaste and joked that they were now "cooler than Mark Rober." A crew member replied that so was the entire population of Earth.
A 400-Foot Skyscraper Climb in a Spider-Man Suit
The longest segment features Dave, introduced as a professional Spider-Man stunt double. He climbed a skyscraper in what Jimmy calls a working Spider-Man suit. According to Jimmy, the suit was made by JLaser and the highest anyone had climbed with it was 200 feet. Dave's goal was to double that and reach 400 feet.
Progress was slow at first, and Jimmy joked about Dave being "one foot up." As Dave got higher, the crew watched him from inside the building through the windows and told him when he passed the halfway point. Partway up it began to rain hard. At one point the suit appeared to stop working, and the crew offered to bring him down. Dave refused, saying he had "been the real Spider-Man many times" and that "Spidey never gives up." The suit started working again and he kept going. Jimmy said even looking over the ledge to watch him was terrifying.
Dave reached the top at 400 feet, and Jimmy gave him $10,000. Asked when the next Spider-Man movie would come out, Dave said he couldn't say. Jimmy concluded he was "better than Tom Holland."
Hydraulic Press vs. Lamborghini
The finale put a Lamborghini under a hydraulic press, with the crew's mannequins inside once more. One person insisted the hood was the safest spot in a car. Chandler's mannequin was crushed almost immediately. As the press came down, the windows burst and the tires collapsed, and the car was clearly destroyed. Still, Jimmy admitted the result fell short of his expectation: he had thought it would "squish it into a pancake." To make up for that, the team blew the Lamborghini up, and the video ended with the explosion.
We're about to test things that nobody has ever done before, like flattening a Lamborghini with a hydraulic press, climbing a building with a real Spider-Man suit, the world's largest elephant toothpaste experiment, filling a pool with 1 billion Orbeez and more.
And to kick things off, we're gonna see if that brick wall can stop this train. This wall is 20 feet tall and three feet thick. It's not going down easy.
Give the orders. Large cheese. I hate you. Send the train. Train us! The train's coming! Will the brick wall stop the train? Oh my God! My gosh!
So the brick wall might not have stopped it, but later in this video, we're gonna see if five semi trucks can.
But for this next experiment, I bought this car, built a giant ramp, and we're gonna see how many buses it can jump over.
How many buses will it jump? At least three. Four! I think it's gonna jump all 12 and go into the woods. It's coming, it's coming. Okay.
It went through a bus, holy crap! This looks like some Fast & Furious stuff.
Now let's do it, but with the jet engines. I may have forgotten to mention that. The first car was just for reference. This is the real experiment.
Here it comes. Here it comes, oh, it's going way faster. It literally knocked a bus over. It's in the side of the bus! How does it keep doing that?
Hey Jimmy? Yeah. You can't park here.
For our next experiment we have 1 billion Orbeez! That's a lot. We're gonna drop Tareq's car from this helicopter to see if the Orbeez can cushion the fall. The only problem is, we haven't told him yet.
Can I borrow that camera real quick, Tareq? What do you think that is over there? Yo, that's my car! Wait, that's my car! See this iPad? This is your car in the parking lot. I literally just parked my car earlier today. Minutes later, a helicopter just picked it up. Your car, baby!
Yeah, if I know Jimmy, he's just gonna lower it nicely. Oh, really? It'd be fine. Move it higher, move it higher. This is crazy! Keep going, a little higher. Right about there, that's good.
Three, two, one! No, no, no, no, hold on! Drop the car!
Now, that was sick! Bro, that was a perfect landing. That was better than me parallel parking that car. Now let's see if Tareq's car survived. Open the floodgates.
Chris, no, come back! There's a car in there! There's my car, it's destroyed! Hey, tell your bumper to watch out! It almost bumped into me. No, no, no, no, my baby. There you go, it should be fine. You don't even really need this part. This is wild.
The best part is, that wasn't even Tareq's car. We picked up his car from the parking lot, dropped it in the middle of a random field, picked up a perfect replica of his car and then dropped that in the Orbeez.
What is happening? This is not my car, actually? No, it's a replica of your car. Your car is in the field over there. I don't like you right now.
And now, we're back at the train and we're gonna see if these semi trucks could stop it. These semi trucks are massive. They're so big that I echo if I talk in that direction.
Raise your hand if you think the train will win. Me. Me. I have faith in the truck.
We also made crash test dummies with the boys to see what would happen to them. All right, Chandler's is secure. Do you think you'll survive? Oh, I don't know, Jim.
Send the train! Train, train, train, train, train. Jimmy, the train is coming! It's coming! So Tareq, make sure you get that angle for us.
There it is. Oh my God! Wait, all right, it might stop it. It might stop it! Oh my gosh, no, it snapped it in half! All that remains is train.
The train tore through the semi trucks and could drag these for a couple more miles if we wanted to, ripped 'em.
Oh no, my boy, my boy. What's happened to him? Gosh, the arm's gone. Well, at least you're still attached. Let me see if the head's over here. He's right here, boys.
Verdict? Train won. Train won. Everyone agrees, the train won.
Hello Neighbor 2 just came out and to celebrate, I built a scaled replica of their house in real life. And we're gonna see what happens if it gets hit by a meteor. And I made realistic-looking mannequins of each of the boys, because I wanted to find the best place to hide to survive a meteor hitting your house.
You can put your mannequins anywhere in the house you want. Try to survive the meteor crash, come on in. Hello, neighbor! That's not real.
It's so hard to get this body in my trunk. I think he'll be safe now. Are you hiding him on the couch? The pillow's gonna cushion the fall from the meteor. It has to work.
You're telling me if a meteor's hurtling at your house, you're gonna hide up there. It's gonna miss this section. I'll be driving.
Let's see how many of the boys survive. Drop the meteor! Oh, here it comes. Oh!
That was only one of three meteors. Somehow, Karl didn't fall. This is what it looks like if a meteor hits your house. Let's drop the next one.
And while we're waiting for them to raise the next meteor, I wanna tell you guys about Hello Neighbor 2. It's an atmospheric stealth horror game about digging up your creepy neighbor's secrets. That sounds scary.
In this video game, you investigate a series of missing person cases in the open world of Raven Brooks. But trust no one, boys, everyone in the game is a suspect. Trust no one. Not even Nolan.
Yeah, we have meteor number two, but this time, the meteor's on fire. Drop the meteor! My car!
Hello Neighbor 2 is available right now on PC, Xbox, Switch and PlayStation consoles.
Oh my God! You're definitely deceased. The meteor's still smoking. Wait a minute, I'm okay! Somehow, Chris survived. I am smart. We survived, buddy. Chandler, on the other hand, didn't make it.
Raise the last meteor. Chandler, you're now me. I'm rich. Drop the meteor when you want. Drop the meteor! Oh, okay.
Oh my goodness! Goodbye, Karl. Let's see if I survived. Yes!
Click the link in the description to go to Hello Neighbor 2's official website and buy the game right now. And now you know where to hide if a meteor's coming at our house, you're welcome.
For our next experiment, if you take this chemical and mix it with that chemical... You get elephant foam toothpaste. In these containers is 100 times what we just did.
Hey, don't touch that bucket! Back up. I need you all to find a safe spot because this next explosion is 100 times bigger.
Standing right here. At least I'll be safe on the roof. Dibs on roof. Wait, Jimmy, did we get all the elephants, so we can clean their teeth with this toothpaste? You're funny.
When you pull, Chandler, you need to run. I'm 100% in the danger zone. Pull! Oh my God! Keep pulling! Pull harder! Oh God.
Look at it go! It filled the entire pool! It looks like the pool's on fire. And that is the new world record for elephant foam toothpaste.
Oh, it's steamy. I wanna jump in it so bad. It's the forbidden swimming pool now. We're officially cooler than Mark Rober. Yeah, and so is the entire population of the Earth.
You know what's cooler than this? Nolan's mom. You know what's cooler than Nolan's mom? What? Next experiment.
This is Dave, a professional Spider-Man stunt double. This is a working Spider-Man suit, and he's gonna climb this entire building, go!
Congratulations, you're one foot up. Are your Spidey-senses tingling yet? Tingling like crazy.
This Spider-Man suit was made by JLaser and the highest he's climbed with it was 200 feet. Dave's gonna climb 200 feet and then climb 200 feet again, up this massive skyscraper. This is nuts.
He's right there. Wait, he's actually right there. Are you taking a picture? I want a picture. I don't know how far I am. I'm not gonna stop till I'm finished.
He's literally outside the building window right now. Hey! Hey! You're halfway there. Sounded like they said halfway. This is insane.
Starting to rain a bit. Rain's really coming down now. Come on.
Whoa, wait, does his suit stop working? Dave, do you want us to let you down? I'm good. I've been the real Spider-Man many times and I don't give up. Spidey never gives up.
It looks like he got it working again. How's he doing this? I'm gonna keep climbing. This thing ain't over till I'm at the top. I'm high.
Just looking over the ledge to see him terrifies me. There's a reason this guy stunt doubles for Spider-Man.
He's almost there! Dave, you're a monster, 400 feet. Dave, you are insane. Oh, he did it!
Here's $10,000. Holy crap. You deserve this. When's the next Spider-Man movie? I can't say. All right, he's better than Tom Holland.
And now the moment you've all been waiting for, hydraulic press. Hurry up, Jimmy! It's too heavy! Can you guys move out the way? Oh yeah, sorry. Yeah, sure. Versus the Lamborghini. Let's see how flat it can get.
And just like throughout this video, the boys are gonna see if their mannequins can survive. This is how you deal with your school bullies. The hood is the safest spot in a car. I'll guard you, Karl.
Get to crushing! Let's go, baby! All right, well, Chandler's gone. I'm still okay. Oh snap. Oh my God. Wow, all the windows! Yes! Oh my gosh. The tires are collapsing. Wow, this is crazy.
In case you were wondering, that Lamborghini doesn't work anymore. Definitely doesn't work now.
I thought it would squish it into a pancake. So to make it up to you, let's blow up the Lamborghini. Explosion!
