:o Anybody here watch "Mythbusters"
A cast iron cannonball rocketed through two homes and landed inside a minivan Tuesday when a “Mythbusters†TV experiment went wrong.
Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage are hosts of the scientific experimentation show, which airs on The Discovery Channel. The pair was reportedly trying to figure out how fast a cannonball would travel, when it misfired and shot hundreds of feet in the air.
“This cannonball was supposed to go through several barrels of water and through a cinder block, and then ultimately into the side of the hill,†said J.D. Nelson of the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department.
Instead the cannonball flew over the foothills surrounding Camp Parks Military Firing Reservation, before spiraling back toward Dublin like a cruise missile.
Holy shit! :lmao: Video at the link http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2011/12/06/tv-experiment-goes-awry-sends-cannonball-rocketing-through-homes/

Or settle the 10 lawsuits that are likely to follow! :rotf:

I doubt they even knew the extent of the damage until after the cameras were off.

The New York Post is saying something about the Mythbusters testing "the efficacy of different types of cannonballs."
Here's a hint--That one worked!

Thankfully no one was hurt.

Not this one. They've already said that the episode that this was supposed to be in will not be shown on their show.

Mayhem: I'm a cannonball for a TV show. Unfortunately, the guy that prepped the cannon had it in for the producer so he pointed it at your house....
