I hope Mythbusters wasn't bombarded by lawsuits afterwards, that would really put a hole in their reputation for safety.

I cannon derstand that sooner or later an accident like this would happen.

What a tremendous mistake, pointing a loaded cannon towards a residential neighborhood.


it's more like how could they miss a row of trashcans filled with water hit through a concrete wall and through another house and the god damn canonball did still not stop.

Sounds like they used way too much blackpowder or american houses are made out of paper.


American houses are pretty much made out of paper lol

Neighbors said "MythBusters" often tries its experiments in the area, and they have grown used to hearing explosions.

Going to be sued.
Going to settle/reimbursed.
Local news is the farthest this will reach, doubt it will hurt the show, doubt this was the first time this has happened.

The concrete wall at the end of the range was supposed to stop it. If you actually watch the report it says it ripped through that.

An overwhelming majority of all explosions Mythbusters detonates are there on the Alameda bomb range so it's not weird they have gotten used to big explosions taking place.

Wow so thankful that no one got hurt, I can't imagine what would have happened to the show if someone was killed.

I wonder if they are going to air this episode

This is really fucking weird but in retrospect it's a little surprising it hasn't happened before to them.

I'm very glad that no one got hurt, especially because now I can imagine how awesome it looked to blast a modern home with a cannonball and I don't have to feel guilty about it. Imagine if you were that couple. How great would it be to be able to say that Mythbusters accidentally blew a hole through your house?
If it were not so, I would have told you.
