English term or phrase: busted
At the end of the show, surprisingly, they discovered that in fact the hair gel truly was provoking a fire that in its absence was not taking place. The beheading, on the other hand, was impossible to reproduce under any circumstance for which the team gave to this part of the myth a verdict of "busted", or official denial.

Es geht um eine Sendung namens MythBusters. Konkret geht es hier um die Rekonstruktion eines Falles, bei dem sich das Haar eines Piloten entzündete und es in der Folge zu einer Enthauptung kam (durch zu viel Sauerstoff und durch einen elektrischen Kurzschluss).
