WPTV personalities try not to break an egg dropped from 30 feet - WPTV News Channel 5 West Palm

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The 36th annual Engineer It! competition will be held on Saturday at the Cox Science Center & Aquarium in West Palm Beach.

The mission is to design and build a shipping container that will prevent an uncooked egg from breaking when dropped from a height of 50 feet.

The stakes are $5,000 in cash and prizes awarded to winners in elementary, middle, and high school categories.

On Monday, WPTV personalities designed and dropped their own shipping containers. They were graded on their video about building their container, following the science center's rules and if the egg broke or not.

The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way.
