Mythbusters *BUSTED* after Cannon ball accident

[J.T.]

I love the show but they are in some hot water after a major snafu! Interesting to read about the path a cannon ball takes through a residential neighborhood though.

Indeed, it was nothing like MTV would have me believe.

WOW... Watch the video from the new report. Left some pretty good holes all over the first house it went through.

I wonder what was going through their mind as they watched it sail over the hill they were supposed to watch it fire into. "oops."

 

[vvvvvvv]

45F is "frigid"?

The day California runs out of things to complain about will be the day after the world has ended.

The upshot is, you'd probably get to meet the Mythbusters, as they come apologize and do PR.

The Alameda bomb range they used require them to take out an insurance policy for just this reason. Thank God no one was injured, though, because with the destruction that thing caused, I'm afraid it would've been a fatality for sure...

Almost unbelievable, through a wall, off a hill, into a neighborhood, up the stairs, in the room, out the wall, over the neighbors, across the highway, and into a minivan. Holy CRAP, was there a jet attached to that thing?

excellent example of "A body in motion tends to stay in motion."
