However, Hyneman said, the crew suffered "muzzle lift," and the cannonball arced across Dublin. It bounced on the Shettys' driveway on Cassata Place before racing through their home and flying across six-lane Tassajara Road. 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.

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.

...Hitha Shetty said the novelty of the situation didn't soothe his anger. ...He also hinted at firing back with a lawsuit. ..."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.

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.

According to another thread they fired it over 50 times before the accident.
