Plane on Treadmill

Recently, Myth Busters did a show dedicated to the question of whether or not an air plane can take off if it is on a treadmill that is moving at the same speed in the opposite direction.

I guess this question has been hotly contended on both sides.

What was the result of the test?

What does this have to do with this blog? I don't know. I just thought the experiment was interesting....
