Mythbusters Epic Failure

Okay they really screwed up.

Prediction - Discovery Channel, Alameda Town and Police Department, and the Mythbusters themselves all suited, and finally showed Canceled.

Best part they called the Mythbusters "Scientist" that is so far from the truth it is laughable. Well I am going to miss the show.

BTW, this is not the first time they fired something out of a canon and have it bounce over the hill there, they had that happen to bowling ball.

I read about that yesterday as well. It will be unfortunate if it ends up causing the show to be canceled.

There will be no lawsuit. Accidents happen and that's why there is something called insurance. The houses will be fixed, the car will be fixed and the people will compensated. Everyone goes home happy and the show will still be on television.

You obviously have too much faith in the people in the US, there will be lawsuits. People will claim they can not sleep at night in fear another cannon ball will come flying through their house.

That's what you call a frivolous lawsuit...

If you watch the video in the link OP posted, they say the show will go on, but the episode will not air

Even if Discovery was ordered to move production to the moon in order to not hurt anyone they would... That is an anchor show and a goldmine.

"This particular myth was to see if other materials could be fired out of a cannon and be as effective as a cannonball," said Nelson...

So did they fire other stuff at the houses to test the myth? Seems like a waste of a good experiment if they didn't.
