Mythbusters crew fire cannon through house

During a segment about cannons the crew managed to accidentally shoot through a family's house wall.
The popular Discovery Channel show is well known for its unusual experiments and this one was no exception - attempting to demonstrate whether or not other objects could be used in place of cannonballs. When the accident happened the shot was meant to travel through some barrels of water and in to a cinder block but due to a misfire it instead smashed through the wall of a house where a family were sleeping.
Mythbusters, which airs on the Discovery Channel, is known for weird experiments involving everything from whether a car balanced on the edge of a cliff can topple over if a bird perches on the front end to if is impossible for a blindfolded person to travel in a straight line.

It's amazing that no one got hurt. I hope they don't cancel the show because I really like it. I wonder how many people got fired because of this.

I know of another Kari that's really hot, Kari Wuhrer (who has been known to wield cannons herself...among other firearms in her movies), wonder if it's a common hot chick name?

Sorry to say, guys, but that picture of Kari is fake, or photoshopped.

Sorry to say, guys, but that picture of Kari is fake, or photoshopped. I agree. That body in that pic is leaner/harder than I've ever seen Kari (not to mention that she's pretty damned freckled on her arms). That said, the body her face was "shopped" onto isn't a dramatic improvement over the real thing IMO.
