Looks like the Mythbusters team might need to hire a new safety team. While filming an upcoming episode, one of their stunts went wrong when they fired a huge homemade cannon at a bunch of water containers, only to watch the cannonball smash through protective cinder blocks and careen into a nearby neighbourhood. The perilous projectile bounced off a hill, smashed clean through a sleeping family's house, took out the roof of another house and finally landed in a van. You can hear the sound of scriptwriters furiously writing this into their slapstick comedy treatments.
For a show with so many big fuckoff explosions, it's surprising that this sort of thing doesn't happen so often. Adam and Jamie's next myth-busting task will be to find out if Americans really are as litigation-happy as they seem. But I wouldn't worry about them. You just know they're rolling in cash. You don't get to blow up that many trucks without having a lot of green in the bank.
