Those guys were incredibly lucky they didn't kill anyone & there were lots of children at risk too!

I wonder if there will be reckless endangerment charges filed, and if it is the producer, or the two guys, or what. I bet the lawyers are already working overtime.

Welcome to the Sue Nation

I guess I have lived by the no harm, on foul theory to long. I would expect for the damages to be fixed, But I would also want the cannon ball with the casts signatures to keep. Mythbusters is one of a couple shows I watch and with all the questionable things they have done, They do have a pretty good do it safe track record. Also I do believe if some one had gotten injured that would be a whole other ball of wax.

'...he said. "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."

Yep, Sue Nation alright.

It gets where a simple mistake can cost you your a$$. Im sure safety measures were put into place but obviously failed but I hate when people say
"I want to make sure it never happens again" then sue the hell out of you.If conscience negligence was there then thats one thing but its gotten to where every concievable risk has to be forseen with no margin for error or your out of business.

Wow, just wow.

Aw shucks fix the damage and call it good!!! No one got hurt so thats the end I mean he could have hit someone with his mini van should he be in truble?

 

[Dr Crankenstein]

I have a theory. Grant Imahara mistakenly entered the coordinates for Dublin CA, when he really wanted Dublin Castle Ireland.

Foolishness aside, why is there a residential zone within range? Muzzle lift? Who's the munitions expert? If the cannon's potential is unknown, take it to Bonneville.

I agree with some of the other comments. Accidents happen. Nobody was harmed, maimed or killed. Property damage is nothing by comparison.

I love that show and hate to see anything happen to it ...BUT, on the other hand, they do need to pay for being stupid. The fact that it did happen means they should have known that it could happen.
