Stars of “MythBusters” remembered host and professional racer Jessi Combs as a “go-getter” and “badass” following her death this week during a stunt in Oregon.
“So sad to hear about Jessi. She was a badass. Always pushing limits,” tweeted “MythBusters” host Kari Byron. “Sending smiles into the universe for her.”
The Discovery Channel show’s former co-host Adam Savage wrote, “I’m so so sad, Jessi Combs has been killed in a crash. She was a brilliant & too-notch builder[sic], engineer, driver, fabricator, and science communicator, & strove everyday to encourage others by her prodigious example. She was also a colleague, and we are lesser for her absence.”
Combs, known as the “fastest woman on four wheels,” was attempting to break her own land speed record Tuesday when her jet-powered vehicle crashed. She was 39.
“MythBusters” castmate Tory Belleci also grieved Combs’ death on Instagram, sharing two photos of the pair.
“Absolutely gutted to hear the news of @thejessicombs You’re a legend Jessi and I will miss you my friend,” he wrote.
Former “MythBuster” Grant Imahara added on Twitter, “So sorry to hear about Jessi. She was a talented builder and host, and above all, a go-getter.”
