Default RIP Grant Imahara

This one is kind of a shocker because he was fairly young and seemingly healthy. Grant Imahara of Mythbusters and BattleBots fame has died at the age of 49. I didn't watch more than an episode of BattleBots, but Mythbusters was a show that pretty much any engineer, tinkerer, maker or DIYer loved and he was a big part of it for a long time. He died yesterday, July 13th, as the result of a brain aneurysm. Rest in peace, Mr. Imahara!

Wow! That's terrible, We've watched MB for so long and so often that he's almost part of the family....we just watched 2 last night. Far too young.

Sad to hear. I did not see that he had passed away.

MB was a show that I used to watch quite often and enjoyed.

RIP Grant

That's unbelievable, I'm Shocked!! Like so many of you guys mentioned, I've watched both shows, and admired the man for his technical abilities.

Rest in Peace Grant

he and Adam were my favorite busters.
His positive energy and excitement was contagious.
So sad to see him gone so early.
Little known fact: he used to get into the c3p0 costume for ILM whenever they did a major star wars event.

RIP, Grant. We miss you already.
