'Mythbusters' Accidentally Shot a Cannonball Into Someone's Home

Holycrap, LOL I wonder what the home owner is thinking about this! I think Discovery channel is going to be a few bucks short on the Mythbuster's budget. 🙂

The cantaloupe-sized cannonball missed the water, tore through a cinder-block wall, skipped off a hillside and flew some 700 yards east, right into the Tassajara Creek neighborhood, where children were returning home from school at 4:15 p.m., authorities said.
There, the 6-inch projectile bounced in front of a home on quiet Cassata Place, ripped through the front door, raced up the stairs and blasted through a bedroom, where a man, woman and child slept through it all - only awakening because of plaster dust.
The ball wasn't done bouncing.
It exited the house, leaving a perfectly round hole in the stucco, crossed six-lane Tassajara Road, took out several tiles from the roof of a home on Bellevue Circle and finally slammed into the Gill family's beige Toyota Sienna minivan in a driveway on

Yeah I saw this on the news this morning. Wondering if the myth was busted? Guess I'll have to wait for the show to air to find out. At least Adam and Jamie were behind bullet proof glass, no fear.

Sucks to be a Toyota minivan. But talk about lucky, they could of killed or maimed a lot of people. Time for them to look up the definition of bomb disposal range.
 
I work only a few blocks away from there. I was wondering what they were talking about on the radio this morning.. Came in on the tail end, something about a cannonball in a neighborhood, I thought it sounded kinda odd lol.

They had another near miss when they were doing the instant convertible myth. The test car flew over the safety berm and onto the street behind the lot (which was unoccupied at the time).
 
Ah Mythbusters,... the greatest show on the face of the Earth,...

She has to be one of the most annoyingly stupid people on TV. I can't even see how people find her hot. Oh well, I guess to each his own.

I'm always amazed at what some guys think is hot. She's there for the show. Actually, and I not a big fan of tats, but the blond women was hotter, and had way more mechanical smarts.
