Anyone live in or near Dublin, CA? Discovery Channel's Mythbusters accidentally fired a cannonball through an occupied house, across a 4-lane street, off the roof of another house, and into a minivan that a man & his kids had been in a few minutes earlier. Luckily nobody was hurt. Wonder if they'll air this in a future episode?

I live across town where this happened. I also get to hear a lot of the big explosions and gun fire when they test out there being that I'm only about a mile from that bomb range where you often see the Mythbusters show take place.  :smokin:

Well, the guys went into the neighborhood and apologized.... and this incident will not be aired.  :_oops:

I saw that they had come out to talk to the residents. I hadn't heard that they won't be airing that stunt during any episode. Would be cool to see what they were attempting to do though.
