Mythbusters Crew Accidentally Fire Cannonball Through Suburban Neighborhood… Quickly Start Deleting Tweets Of The Evidence (Techdirt)
Well, well. Slashdot points us to this bizarre and slightly scary story about
how everyone’s favorite TV show, MythBusters, had an experiment that went
really, really wrong yesterday. Apparently, it fired a home-made cannon at the
Alameda County Sheriff’s Department bomb disposal range. The idea was to shoot
the cannonball into huge water containers.
But they missed.
Instead, the cannonball went hurtling through the suburban northern California
town of Dublin, at 4:15, just as kids were getting home from school. According
to the SF Chronicle report on this:
> _ The cantaloupe-sized cannonball missed the water, tore through a cinder-
block wall, skipped off a hillside and flew some 700 yards east, right into
the Tassajara Creek neighborhood, where children were returning home from
school at 4:15 p.m., authorities said.
There, the 6-inch projectile bounced in front of a home on quiet Cassata
Place, ripped through the front door, raced up the stairs and blasted through
a bedroom, where a man, woman and child slept through it all – only awakening
because of plaster dust.
The ball wasn’t done bouncing.
It exited the house, leaving a perfectly round hole in the stucco, crossed
six-lane Tassajara Road, took out several …

Bomb Hunters: In Afghanistan with Britains Elite Bomb Disposal Unit $12.99 ‘Afghanistan is just like Iraq – hot, dusty and full of people who want to kill you’, SSgt Simon Fuller, Royal Engineer Search Advisor Bomb Hunters tells the story of the British army’s elite bomb disposal experts, men who face death every day in the most dangerous region of the most lethal country on earth – Helmand Province, Afghanistan. Bomb Hunters are up against the Improvised Explosive Device – the IED – the deadly homemade bombs planted by the Taliban. Hard to detect and easy to trigger, an estimated 10 bombs for every one of the 10,000 British troops have been planted in the region. IEDs are now the main killer of British troops in Afghanistan and the ultimate psychological weapon. Bomb Hunters work in 50-degree heat as they take the ‘long walk’ into the kill zone, defusing as many as 15 bombs a day. In the past year the casualty rate has soared as the troops have become locked into a deadly game of cat and mouse – to locate and deactivate the deadly bombs before they maim and kill soldiers, police and civilians. Skill, cold courage and inevitably pure luck play a huge part in the survival of these men and as the British public have already seen – a single lapse of concentration can result in instant death. Ex-paratrooper, now defence journalist, Sean Rayment, takes the reader on a journey into the heat and dust of Helmand Province as he meets these courageous soldiers while they put their lives at risk to prevent other British troops falling victim to the IED. He interviews the Bomb Hunters as they perform their duties on the frontline and paints a breathtaking picture of what life is like for the men who play poker with their own lives every day, who live knowing the enemy watches their every move, waiting for a weakness to show itself, a pattern in technique to be exploited, or an error to be made that triggers the device itself. This is as vivid and dramatic as war reporting gets, mixing ‘close to the bone’ narrative and dead-pan black humour from the Bomb Hunters themselves, some of whom were subsequently killed in action. No punches will be pulled on what these men feel about the war, their place in it, the politicians and generals who send them there, and how they deal with the relentless pressure of the job itself in the heart of the world’s most hostile combat environment. |
