Description

In the movie "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" Indiana Jones survives the explosion of a nuclear bomb by cleverly ducking in a refrigerator. While most believe it's impossible, George Lucas has said that he has scientific evidence that his odds of survival are "50\50."
Let's take a closer look at the scene and see how Jones seems to defy physics and common sense to survive.

UPDATE: Thank you so much for all your kind words and responses! I tried to thank each comment individually and just couldn't keep up. If I didn't get to thank you know how much I appreciate it. I'm new and didn't even know what a Daily Deviation was until I got it.
Special thanks to ~Jezamin and $Moonbeam13

I got this on the day I saw this film in the theater, especially when I saw the "Lead Lined" sticker of the side of the door of the fridge.

Because lead deflects radiation as Lisa Simpson said, https://youtu.be/WlcWhM6jdDw?t=112

It only got worse after the fans and critics started whining about it.

Some people are just whiny, whinging idiots.



Well, fans what you have preferred? Him to die just fifteen minutes into film?

If you re-watch the first three films, there are a lot of things that didn't make sense.

The Baron Returns in Strength

CHAPTER XXI. The Baron Returns in Strength The murderous Baron Potzroy and his men return to New Vorga and go at once to the burial pits, where the villain himself descends. He descends alone. The men without began their vigil. “I don't understand,” Gunter said, “why does he enter a burial pit?” “It is best not to ask those questions,” Sable told him. “Know only that he is about his own business. He is our leader and he knows best in these things.” “It is such a lonesome frightening place. I would not go down there for anything.” “Keep your tongue still. You are a pretty one, but only with your mouth closed.” We know already what Potzroy saw on his long walk down the spiral ramp below, dear reader, for we have already told of Trost making the journey before. There were still cobwebs and the scurrying of rodents, there were still decaying stones and unburied coffins stacked in shelves, and there was still a restless fearful feeling in plenty.

The Fairly Hot Stuff Within

The 1962 Emergence of the Vulcanids was rather disastrous for England: the opening of a half-mile wide volcanic flue into strata 15 miles down and the consequent large-scale release of hot ash and superheated and partially toxic gasses killed several million people, the authorities having rather underestimated the scale of the problem: nearly half of London wasn’t even evacuated, and the hot poisonous cloud reached as far south the Channel. Further unpleasantness took place when an army and air force already in a murderous mood spotted the huge, clumsy Vulcanid exploratory machines “sculling” through the (to them) non-substantial surface (...

It Came From the Drive-In

It is the year 2012, and a world of Atomic Marvels. A glittering belt of space stations encircles the world, while giant space-mirrors extend the day and the growing season. Glittering super-skyscrapers pierce the heavens, and the androids sing sweetly as they toil in the protoplasm fields. Atom-powered cars zoom along gleaming super-highways carved through mountains by atomic disintegrators crisscross the globe, and descend under the sea to the Ocean floor cities. Giant gleaming rockets shoot into space by the dozens and hundreds. Earth is currently united as the Global Federation of Nations, with the minor exceptions of a few theocratic ...

Starship Hindenburg Fact Sheet

Starship Hindenburg Fact Sheet1: The Starship Hindenburg was primarily named after the German airship which exploded and crashed in 1937.2: The bulk of her crew are named after real people. Examples include Captain Max Pruss, Science Officer Jonathan Frakes, and ship's cook Alfred Grozinger.3: The Starship Hindenburg has a very dark backstory. Her designer was arrested for the first time in late 2009. Before then, he had an idea for a 7,920-foot cruise liner. He chose the name Hindenburg, not only after the airship, but to symbolically represent his life crashing down around him.4: The Starship Hindenburg was originally going to have an al...

Dateline: Stardate 50622.37

USS Enterprise Explodes, All Hands Lost!On May 6, 2237, the USS Enterprise was scheduled to land in Lakehurst, NJ. She had been battling fierce headwinds over the Atlantic, as did the Zeppelin Hindenburg from the distant past. By the time the Enterprise arrived over the airfield, she was 12 hours behind schedule. She swung hard to port in order to put the leading edge of her saucer into the wind; the safest way to land a Constitution -class ship. She slowed to a hover, deployed her mooring cables, and slowly descended toward the mooring mast. Suddenly, her aft end burst into flames! The force of the explosion was so powerful, it c...

All TIEd Up

STAR TREK: HINDENBURGEpisode XIII: All TIEd UpCaptain's log, stardate 102120.15. Starship Hindenburg is on her way back to Earth at maximum warp velocity. Pruss materialized on the bridge. "Helm, status report," he said. "Estimating Earth arrival in 1.5 hours, present speed," said Takei. Suddenly, an alarm sounded at Takei's station. "Gravity field off the port side!" he said. The ship heaved violently to port. "Hold on!" barked Pruss. The Hindenburg dropped out of warp and cartwheeled end-over-end. "All thrusters at station-keeping!" said Pruss. The ship fired all of her maneuvering thrusters, and managed to stop spinning. "Computer, wher...
