A hit and a myth: errant cannonball punches hole in house

To California, where a TV stunt mishap leaves a residential block in ruins, reports the i newspaper. A stunt for the Discovery Channel show MythBusters this week sent an errant cannonball flying through a family's house and into a nearby minivan. Sound like something off Harry Hill's TV Burp? Well, it wasn't meant to happen. The cannonball was supposed to go through some water-filled barrels and a concrete wall. Instead, it soared over the barrels, through the concrete wall and tore through the front door of the house before exiting through a rear wall and smashing into a minivan. Phew.
