Mythbusters misfired cannon ball goes through house into minivan. - Polidicks

A giant lawsuit. I doubt anyone would get jailtime due to this being a complete freak accident and not intentional in the least. Maybe someone might get a year for negligence, but mostly, it would simply be an exchange of a large sum of money.

[QUOTE=lulzbocksV2;33606374]I hope this doesn't stop them from doing crazy experiments.[/QUOTE] well you saw what happened when the city of new york tried to stop the ghost busters right? only instead of ghosts Science would be causing havoc everywhere and urban myths would be plaguing homes and the internet, going unanswered by professionals telling others not to try it at home.

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;33607051]so why the hell was the house built near the Alameda Bomb range?[/QUOTE] Cheap land.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;33606793][img]http://media.cmgdigital.com/shared/img/photos/2011/12/06/1e/d8/cannonballSasaki.jpg[/img] Well there's your problem.[/QUOTE] Yeah those fuckers can't build a house that can support a high velocity cannon ball.

"We're here in the <place> <weapon type> range, because it's unsafe to test our <weapon> at the workshop since people might get injured etc."

[QUOTE=Spybreak;33606275]Getting shot by a cannonball has been one of my greatest fears after I saw The Patriot. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcaQerCQdk0[/media][/QUOTE] I used to be a Patriot like you, then I took a cannonball in the face...

Shit i haven't seen mythbusters in FOREVER.

I would consider this an honor more than anything. Mythbusters has been my favorite show since it started.

I guess this myth has been [I]busted.[/I] [B][I]YYYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHH[/I][/B]

Well one thing's for sure, whatever they were trying to build WORKS.

Wtf, I live in Dublin, police are ready to beat shit out of us for having airsoft gun in public and its' restricted to 1 joule. While mythbusters fire a fucking cannon there.

[QUOTE=silverhawk79;33606625]Chances are, the show's producers will pay for the damages, and Adam and Jamie will apologize to the owner. Because well, they're (allegedly) nice like that.[/QUOTE] They have ridiculous amounts of insurance, too.

[QUOTE=arleitiss;33609730]Wtf, I live in Dublin, police are ready to beat shit out of us for having airsoft gun in public and its' restricted to 1 joule. While mythbusters fire a fucking cannon there.[/QUOTE] They were in a shooting/bomb range, not in public

Well, this is only made possible by american el cheapo cardboard houses.

[QUOTE=DrLuke;33609785]Well, this is only made possible by american el cheapo cardboard houses.[/QUOTE] I know what you're hinting at and I'd agree if it wasn't obvious that a giant ball of whatever it's made out of could penetrate alot

[QUOTE=Contag;33606856]Will we be sued? Plausible. Will our insurance agent be happy? Busted.[/QUOTE] I don't think they'll be sued. Since they're nice guys and generally popular, hopefully they'll just pay the damages and the people affected will just leave it at that.

Imagine if they actually killed someone.

Myth busted

[QUOTE=B!N4RY;33606258]Not anytime soon in the corresponding episode, it's just going to get stacked up onto their piles of their fails and bloopers collection, and they won't show it off until a few years when they're making another filler episode.[/QUOTE] They didn't mention the time they broke windows miles away with a five thousand pound bomb either. Or the time they nearly burned down the neighborhood that their studio is located in. Or the time they fired(accidentally) bullets through the walls of their studio into the adjoining building. Bad publicity, you see. :v:

[QUOTE=Bredirish123;33610479]Myth busted[/QUOTE] House busted.

[QUOTE=DrLuke;33609785]Well, this is only made possible by american el cheapo cardboard houses.[/QUOTE] It's a cannonball You know, designed to destroy stone structures and whatnot

Once the home owners realize that this was for science, i think they'll understand.

Fucking love the mythbusters. God, I can only imagine whats going through the homeowner's mind when this happened.

[QUOTE=Solo Wing;33611392]Fucking love the mythbusters. God, I can only imagine whats going through the homeowner's mind when this happened.[/QUOTE] I personally would be honored if they shot a cannon ball through my wall

[QUOTE=Solo Wing;33611392] God, I can only imagine whats going through the homeowner's mind when this happened.[/QUOTE] If the aim had been just a little different, it would have been, "What was that noise?"Followed by a cannonball.

[QUOTE=valkery;33606314]Still, it should have been stopped by the time it encountered the second wall.[/QUOTE] obviously not

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;33611458]I personally would be honored if they shot a cannon ball through my wall[/QUOTE] I would be honored too, I would also be fucking terrified that a cannon ball came through my wall and destroyed a minivan.

I bet they stole Jamie's sharpie.
