Car vs 747 video
I'm not sure if this was posted before, but it looks to be a video from a Top Gear episode. They run a few cars behind a 747 at full thrust. Pretty cool result!!

That was pretty impressive though. I'm surprised they didnt' leave more room on the runway in case of an abort or an engine failure or something. I think they cut that one kind of close. But impressice nonetheless.
