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.
