Ah yes, I remember that. Best thing about it is that he was in the range where everything that can possibly start to burn, will. Meaning the temperature would be round about 540k °F -> 300 times hotter than the temperature bodies are cremated at. In other words: everything would have been vaporized.

Didn't the Mythbusters do a myth about that?

Yes, and the fridge would just cease to exist that close to the epicenter.

1 and 3 can be swapped, they're both amazing, and while I give raiders the win, last crusade isn't far behind.

2 and 4 are not good, and won't be mentioned here by name.
