There was an event a few years ago in which a ski area used a 105 to do avalanche control. The crew put in the entire charge (it’s in 5 sections) and launched the projectile over the ski area, over the mountain, and into a village. Oops!

That’s an insurance claim that would be fun to submit.

never point a loaded cannon at a structure you don’t want a hole in

Remember the steam-powered cannon? They couldn't get the pressure they wanted and fired before the sun went down. It went much farther than they expected -- and had they gotten the pressure they wanted, it would have shot across the bay into down (San Francisco)(*).
(*)or whichever major city was just across the water from the empty area they were using to blast cannonballs.

I don’t know what range they were using, but I’m guessing it was over at Santa Rita jail. That makes the house they hit 1/2 mile away.
To: EveningStar
Article says they were shooting at the Alameda County firing range which, IIRC from its use in prior episodes, is run by the Sheriff’s department. Presumably they had to sign off on whatever the MB’s were doing. Which should complicate things now.

Watched the show once, thought they were idiots. I’ve known junior high school science students who could do a better job of it.

No one was injured...It was unclear where the cannonball came to rest.If it is unclear where it came to rest...how do we know no one was injured?

Did they forget to convert to metric, or were they working with PG&E?

It seems a little odd that the Sheriff’s Dept. spokesman is... J.D. Nelson, who is the Mythbusters bomb expert.
Of course, it was even odder listening to Nelson when he was the sheriff’s Dept spokesman during some Oakland riot last year.
IMHO, Mythbusters needs to be careful. (...and I enjoy the show.) They seem to be constantly pushing the envelope for TV and someone is going to get seriously hurt or killed.
