What the flying fuck, 2020. This was unexpected. Everybody knows that the only ones capable of getting shit done in Mythbusters were Jamie and Imahara, with Savage a distant third.
Scottie? She built a lot of the early stuff

Re: Grant Imahara Has Died
#62Wow, this cuts really deep. This makes me want to take more risk in life, to live a bit fuller and care less about money. Even at 26 I still don't have a great way to digest loss like this. The loss of someone who I genuinely looked up to and whom had significant impact on decisions I made my life. Who I thought about when I really hated myself and felt that I didn't belong in engineering at college. Especially Grant…
> This makes me want to take more risk in life Depends on what type of risk. Some risks make you die earlier.
Guess they'd better sit inside all the time then, can't risk dying. They clearly meant that they wanted to live life more fully.
Thank you for pointing out that people can die on a post about a person dying.

#64Is there effective screening for aneurism potential? It runs the male side of my family and I'm approaching due time.
I think the weakened blood vessels show up on MRI and CT scans. I don't think it's usually done unless you have specific risk factors. Probably best to let your doctor know about your family history.

#65Normally I ignore the "rich and famous" obits, however Grant's passing is really quite upsetting. MythBusters meant a great deal to me during my college years, right as I was trying to figure out where I wanted to go in life. The build team was always the best. With the loss of Jessie in 2019, it's been a hard year for Mythbusters.
I also rewatched all of Mythbusters early in college as I was struggling to figure out what I wanted to be. They really showed the fun to be had building wacky projects!

#69Brain aneurysm is truly something terrible, I lost a friend to it a couple of years ago. (She was 22 at the time and in good health). She just woke up one day in the middle of the night with a headache and had to vomit. On the way to the hospital she fell into a coma and never woke up. Really scary.
It's just, such a terrible thing to think about. Nothing you can do either.

#70Normally when newsworthy deaths occur, I'm not affected. However, Grant's death really hits home for some reason. I first saw him on Mythbusters. He seemed like such a nice and brilliant guy.
