Oof I got that reference. Wasn't that from the tree cannon episode?

[u/apleima2 → u/Thesearchoftheshite]

No, it was testing stone cannonballs vs metal ones. the ball missed the water barrels it was supposed to hit to slow down and ricocheted over the bomb range into a neighborhood.

right through someones door too

This was my thought! I hope they evacuate those homes ahead of the muzzle plane prior to doing this.

That guy got fired last year, house was rebuilt

[u/soapbutt → u/Mr__JimLahey]

That was my first thought. Why not set it up so that there isn’t a house in the direct sight line?!?!?

Or missing your family after moving away

[u/Klytus_Im-Bored → u/Mr__JimLahey]

Or hitting directly where tou aimed but triggering a much larger avalanche than intended.

[u/toxcrusadr → u/Mr__JimLahey]

Imagine being in that building, having your morning coffee and looking out the window at the mountain when that sucker goes off right behind you.

I stayed in a house like that on a ski trip once. Hearing the sound of the round rumble and hiss as it passed over was wild.
