Mythbusters who is jessi

Then Grant Imahara. My sincerest condolences to the Mythbusters Family. RIP pic. First Jessi Combs now Grant Imahara. Big Mythbusters fan. After Jessi Combs died last year, thought that was a fluke with her career.

But how the hell can we lose Grant Imahara the very next year?! I'm gutted. Mythbusters was such a huge part of my life in high school. Jessi Combs, a professional speed racer and former host of "Mythbusters," died Tuesday in a crash on a dry lake bed in Oregon's Alvord Desert as she was in a jet car attempting to break a land speed record, authorities said. The Harney County Sheriff's Office said it was called to the scene of the fatal crash in the desert about 90 miles south of Burns, Oregon, around 4 p.

Combs, who was nicknamed "the fastest woman on four wheels," was pursuing a record on the dry lake bed, her family said in a statement. Combs was the lead driver on the North American Eagle racing team. She was identified as the sole fatality connected with the accident, which is under investigation.

The section of the Alvord Desert the team was using was approximately 8 miles long, authorities said. The North American Eagle is a supersonic vehicle made from the fuselage of a jet plane, according to the team's website. Combs was killed by "blunt force trauma to the head," according to investigators.

She died before fire engulfed the race vehicle. Combs' racer was the same North American Eagle Supersonic Speed Challenger in which she set the four-wheel land-speed record back in at mph with a top-speed run of mph , according to her website. The Challenger is a reconfigured F jet with 52,horsepower, measuring 56 feet long.

Louden accompanied the post with one of Combs' final posts on the internet, which was shared in reference to her attempt of the land speed record.

A documentary of Combs' journey was in the works at the time of her death, and according to a member of her team , that documentary will be completed. Meanwhile, expect more members of the Mythbusters family and other shows that Jessi Combs was involved in to reach out and pay their respects to "the fastest woman on four wheels.

CinemaBlend would like to extend its condolences to the family and friends of Jessi Combs, and wish them all well during this troubling time. Mick likes good television, but also reality television. See more.
