Got the trailer for the next season! :D

In all seriousness, very glad no one got hurt. Looking towards the future it seems like one of those situations where something dangerous happens, no one gets hurt, and it may or may not become hugely popular and referenced in the future.

I like how you managed to fit countrybashing in that post even though this has nothing to do with america.

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.


Yep american houses are made out of paper and wood lol


I still dont completely understand why this is the case. Why dont they just use bricks ? It's way stronger, less maintenance. Is it just cause it's cheaper and faster to build ?

The cannon ball would of likely torn right through a brick house as well. Regardless I was pretty stunned to see this news.

I hope it doesn't impact the shows development too seriously, one of my favourite things to watch.
At least nobody got hurt.

I can't wait to see the blooper reel What kind of expressions and comments did the myth busters crew make? Also, what if they put a camera on the cannan ball? That would be amazing footage!

Please, this will help ratings more then hurt them. And Mythbusters have insurance specificlly to cover "oh shit went wrong" stuff like this.

I love Mythbusters

I thought these guys were pretty smart and cautious even with the wilder experiments but firing a cannon near where people live, guess they weren't thinking too hard at the time.

Not to mention you would rather have a bunch of wood fall on you than a bunch of bricks. Bricks are used, just not on top of faultlines.

I'm amazed it went so far, even for a cannon ball. I mean it went through the concrete wall at the end and still went hundreds and hundreds of feet. You'd think MythBusters would have these things foreseen; rather unlike them o.O

I feel like this had to happen at some point... Considering the amount of crazy shit they've done, I even find it amazing how it took them so long to fuck up a little.
Good thing nobody was hurt!

It would have been a world of shit if someone had gotten hurt, with at lot of people including net executives going to jail and all that. Good thing that wasn't the case, but they've really got to take more precautions.

Well, I lived in Nashville where most houses were wood and no chance of earthquakes (and really small chance of tornadoes). Wood houses are cheaper and faster to build, yeah.

I hope they sue them for everything they got although I'd rather see a couple of years in prison for the ones responsible for this

Really. I imagine this was an accident. They always have explosives experts on hand, think years in prison for property damage that they can pay for is excessive.

My friend lives two doors down from the house it went through. Said it was really loud, but he figured they must just be firing into a barrier.
