Oops! The article on this screw-up over at The Blaze has a great comment from SMITHCLAR3NC3: "I guess that family is getting ready to bust the the myth that they cant have a new bigger house with a porsche in the driveway, fulling enclosed in-ground pool, and a new recroom with pool table, fully stocked bar and a jacuzzi."

Wow. I thought the bomb range was further away from homes. D’oh. I’m glad that no one got hurt.

I’m guessing this will be the most watched episode of Mythbusters.

Car owner was lucky no one was in the car, and lucky the car was trashed; it looks like a Windstar - worst vehicle I ever owned.
Make them replace it w/ a Toyota.

I believe my Home Owner’s Insurance covers Wind, Fire, Water and Missle damage. Not so sure Cannonfire is covered.

A pity, I would have let them shoot a cannonball through my house just to meet them and appear on the show. By far the most entertaining show on TV.

What is it they always say, “Don’t try this at home. We are professionals with years of experience doing these sorts of things.” :)

I’ve seen a lot of comments like that too. I don’t understand why the residents of a house damaged in the incident deserve anything more than to have their property repaired.
It really is strange, when you stop to think about it, why so many people seem to get settlements because of something that COULD have happened.
I think I might sue the next guy who cuts me off in traffic. He could have killed me!

Yeah, I searched after I posted. Mea culpa. Oh well, lots of people see the tenth post of a major story having missed the first nine.

You are right...too many ambulance-chasing lawyers have really changed our society for the worse.

I doubt we will get to see this one.
At least not until the case is settled.
The part I liked best was this.”He had been at the site with show producers all day, he said, though he said he was not by the cannon when it fired. “
I bet no one else admits to being by it either LMAO.
