The special-effects gurus who host the television show "MythBusters" were cast Wednesday in an ignominious role: visiting a home on a quiet street in Dublin and apologizing to a family for firing a 30-pound cannonball through their front door a day earlier.

Idjits... prolly tied the darn thing down with baling wire, lacking the proper cannon chains. Now if it happened out in the woods, it would be rednecks. But here, idjits.
Muzzle lift...isn’t that what Jewish people say at weddings?
more like mazel tov, meaning good luck (literally, good star)
If they were idiots they would be dead by now, when you look at the long history of their “experiments”. As it is, they are extreeeeeeeemly lucky that they didn’t injure or even kill somebody. I do wonder if this will impact their show.
We’re from the Mythbusters and we’re here to help you.
I don't know... But if it lasts more the 4 hrs I think they're supposed to go see a Doctor or something... ;-)
The amazing part is that it carried TWO MILES
..."I want to make sure this doesn't happen again. And, of course, they need to pay for this. Not just the physical damage, but everything else."
And thus, the Mythbusters show will never be the same again. It, like many other worthwhile, enjoyable, and educational pursuits will be litigated out of existence because our legal system benefits the dirtbags who see dollar signs in every unfortunate situation.
The most obvious question is why were they firing in that direction at all? There are plenty of vectors from that site that have nothing but miles and miles of open space. They deserve to be sued for not having the brains to aim in a direction that has no consequence if a round goes astray.

Sorry. My smartphone is brainless as well.
They are lucky no one was killed by their incompetence.
You are right, they are extremely lucky this did not result injury or death.
I am guessing experiments involving cannon or explosives will be done in unpopulated areas.
Lol -- it's important to get the taxonomy right.
IF WE MADE THESE IMBECILES GET A REAL JON AND ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTE TO SOCIETY INSTEAD OF GETTING PAID MILLIONS BY THE LIB MEDIA TO CLOWN AROUND ON TV AND INFLUENCE OUR CHILDREN WE’D SEE THINGS CHANGE FAST FOR THE BETTER!
I no wanna tax ona me!
According to another thread they fired it over 50 times before the accident.
A: Quit yelling
B: I bet they have a real jon. I do. Use it every morning.
C: Welcome to FR. Now go take a deep breath and relax already.
