FIB reader Frank G. sent these great pictures of a car exploding on Dean and Vanderbilt for Life on Mars, the really entertaining show about a cop who is hit by a car and transported back to 1973 (or is he?).
Watch the little guy to the right of the black screen dive to the ground – it’s like a little flip book.
Thanks, Frank! Awesome pictures.
UPDATE: Our resident location manager, Nathan, has some great background info on his site about the pictures below, and how to explode things in NYC in general (as pertains to filming, anyway). Thanks, Nathan!

Fantastic pics Frank! I love the show, & can’t wait to see these scenes on the show. I always get a special thrill when I see scenes in a show that I’ve seen pics of here or on onlocationvacations.com.
Thanks for the tech info Nathan, very cool. I love the behind the scenes tech stuff. I like to know how things work.

This is for the upcoming episode 1.09 called “Revenge of the Broken Jaw”. This episode will appear on February 4th. Golly I didn’t realize they were this behind in production which explains the January 28th return.
Great photos though, thank you so much for showing them. I will spread the news to the ABC board.
