Mythbusters.

It did air?

I think I remember Jamie and Adam telling the press that they wouldn't air the episode after the incident. I guess the producers changed their mind.

I'm not sure if they're getting to popular for their own good. They recently had a Green Hornet special (plug) with Seth Rogen.
I think they may be running out of good myths too. They still haven't topped blowing up the cement truck.

I don't know about that. They did almost kill a few people when a stray cannonball went into a populated neighbourhood. Suppose it depends how you would define "topping". It never aired obviously, but it certainly was entertaining to hear about it in a scary sort of way.

It did air.

Yeah, I saw that one, too.

They couldn't bury that one, they needed to say that they learned from it and made the needed changes.

IIRC, they hit a house (I remember seeing a round hole blasted through a wall, I think)

But no one was nearby, thankfully.

Yeah, that was all over the newspapers here - quite the kerfuffle!

I think Zilla's right-- no way you could have a dangerous accident like that and then NOT air the show-- too much bad publicity if it looked like they were trying to brush that one under the rug.

[Bella Fortuna]

Exactly. The more upfront they could be in admitting the accident the better, leaving less room for people to fill in knowledge gaps with imaginings.

Yeah. Plus it's a great example for why they usually do all their safety stuff. A teachable moment, as they say.

They also promised they wouldn't air the footage they had filmed of the near-catastrophic cannon shot.

Like I said, they changed their minds.

They did air it on November 11, 2012, which I missed.

Damn!
That's some power those cannons have.

Yeah, I watched with some amusement.

Sadist.

Sadist.

They should have as much fun as I didn't with similar events.

Some men like to hear the cannon balls roarin'
