If non-US readers have ever wondered how far the Alameda County bomb disposal range (beloved of Discovery Channel show Mythbusters) is from homes, it seems it’s at least close enough for a misdirected cannonball to hit a house.
Wow....they are lucky they didn't kill somebody. Sounds like they should have done a little simple physics and considered what was down range in the event something went wrong and they missed the target......as they did. lol
IIRC the range was there before the houses, and developers were advised against constructing there, but they did anyway.
