The myth was that someone took too long to empty the cement out of the truck, allowed it to harden and then tried to use dynamite to clean out the hardened cement. I'm still trying to figure out, what was the myth they were trying to expose? I've watched the show a few times and always found it interesting, but each time I have seen it, they were trying to get to the bottom of something, the "something" in question being "the myth" . maybe I'm just ignernt [sic] about cement-trucks-and-C4-explosives myths. /s/ tuco bonno; Graduate, College of Conflict Management; University of SouthEast Asia; "I partied on the Ho Chi Minh Trail - tiến lên !!
