Mythbusters new season

[Moonliner]

Oops. The Mythbusters had a little boo-boo yesterday.
They were on the Alameda County Sheriff's Department bomb disposal range when a cannon shot went wide of the mark.

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 Springvale Drive.

Production has been suspended. I wonder if it will survive this incident.
