News services in the United States are reporting that yesterday evening in
Dublin, California, whilst filming an episode at a bomb range, a cannon that
the Mythbusters crew had built fired a cannonball which accidentally went astray.

But the damage was not yet done as the cannon ball crashed through the house on one side and exited through another.
The occupants of the home were sleeping at the time, and were not hurt.
The cannonball then plummeted into the minivan, breaking one of its
windows and finally coming to a stop inside.

Luckily no one was physically injured.

Hopefully the Mythbusters will receive a Presidential pardon.
