This is why they have insurance.
I'm not sure what the problem is. Everyone was having a ball! | | | |

The story may not air, but they will likely make it available on-line after the insurance claims are completed. The Mythbuster post a lot of footage that used to wind up on the cutting room floor. | | | |

Never been a huge fan of the boys, they take too many engineering liberties and assume a bit more than any real engineer could get away with in real life. But it is fun entertainment and I watch altho infrequently anymore.

So was the myth busted, plausible, or confirmed?

Yup. Dublin, California. It's in Alameda County. About a thirty minute drive from my house.
The Mythbusters are located in San Francisco.
In fact......
And for those of you who didn't know that's where they are based out of...............
