The video is unavailable now but here is a youtube video of it:


I can't believe it went all the way through a house, off another home and in a van.

This is why they have insurance.

I'm not sure what the problem is. Everyone was having a ball!

WOW...I understand those parents concerns...but what is the odd's...so many things could have gone wrong, and so many people could have been hurt...it's lucky that no-one did...

I guess that Myth - IS REAL.... we will probably never see that one air'd...

Too bad, because I would love to see it. However, you just know Discovery Channel is going to be sued over this. They will probably settle out of court and not be able to show the video.

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?

Hmmm, nobody sounded Irish in that video, but it's Dublin?

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...............
