In SST DeathFlight, when the vertical stabilizer is locked due to sabotage, the passengers move fore and aft to control descent.
Could the Mythbusters take this on as a show idea? They seem to be running out of good myths to bust.

Yeah I stopped watching Mythbusters when they started reviewing phrases in the lexacon. "when the 'poop' hits the fan" Who cares? What happened to pop rocks and soda pops?

they should start off with the hang-glider from "cave dwellers" aka the most preposterous moment in world cinema history. my first thought with SST deathflight is, what? why wouldn't that work? going to the front and back of the plane would totally work, wouldn't it?

I think it would. But that's why we test things out in the real world.
I just submitted the question on the Discovery Channel's Mythbuster section. Check it out.
Edit:
Shoot. I forgot how to make a link.
By the way, I thought the busting of the idiom "You can't polish a turd" was pretty interesting.

I wish they would de-bunk that Hollywood "speed equals facial distortion" thing. MST3K films had a few of these scenes, especially astronauts in take-off having their faces go all screwy like because of the speed of the craft. Nope, sorry, can't happen. Unless the spacecraft had no windows and was open to the air, not possible. And that would be one badly made spaceship.
