Oh great! Now probably California won't let them do anything anymore.

They'll likely get raked over the coals over what "could" have happened (and pay through the nose based on that), instead of what actually did happen.

Sounds like they need to find another location, as there projectiles are too unpredictable for that range.

its all fun & games until someone shoots a minivan out......

It wouldn't surprise me if they get banned from doing experiments at the range. It also wouldn't be the first town to ban them.

They were at a military firing range. And the Sheriffs dept is always with them when they do things like this. A mistake happened. No one was hurt.

That's strange, the few times I have seen Mythbusters, they always seem to be out in the middle of nowhere during these kinds of experiments

Well they were in the middle of nowhere, the cannonball just went somewhere

lol, that reminded me of a Ron White bit for some reason:

"Mr. White, you are being charged with drunk... in... publ-ic-kah!" I was like, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! I was drunk in a bar. They threw me into pub-lic. I don't want to be drunk in pub-lic, I want to be drunk in a bar, which is perfectly legal... arrest them!"

its all about intent.

Terrorists mean to cause fear and mayhem. Idiots cause it as collateral damage of having fun. ( and being stupid while going about it )

At least no Fieros were harmed this time.
