Dublin Attacked By Mythbusters

    A ZANY science experiment for a TV programme went wrong when a cannonball smashed through a house 650 yards away.

    The cannonball rocketed through the front door and out through the master bedroom, landing in a neighbour's parked van.

    The US show MythBusters was testing whether other projectiles fired from a cannon would have the same devastating effect as a steel ball.

    It should have been stopped by a string of water-filled rubbish bins at a range near San Francisco.

    Instead , it passed over the barrels, crashed straight through a protective wall and careered off the hill behind it, said a police spokesman. "It missed the target and took an oddball bounce," he said. "It was almost like skipping a rock on a lake. Instead of burying it into the hill it just went skyward."

    No one was injured, and the home's residents, in the suburb of Dublin, did not even wake up until pieces of broken wall settled on top of them.
