Mythbusters Under Investigation After Failed Experiment

The famed Mythbusters TV show is under investigation after a cannon miss-fire caused destruction to civilian property. An experiment to see what objects could survive cannon fire led to the damage of 2 homes and a minivan when a cannon ball accidentally ricocheted a quarter mile off a hill. No injuries were reported.

According to reports, the destroyed minivan was pulled into its driveway minutes before being crushed by the flying object. Two other homes suffered extreme damage including having a hole made in the front door of a house. One family slept through the cannon balls entry but were suddenly awakened by the house shifting.

Authorities arrived at the site of the cannon fire experiment where the crew was oblivious to the incident. Actions against the TV show are pending till further investigation can be made. Residents of the neighborhood say that at the very least, they will not be getting their cannon ball back.
