Here is another video with the Mythbusters showing up to apologize for what happened.

Mythbusters Apologize

Personally, I don't blame the Mythbusters at all. I think the ultimate responsibility MUST land in the hands of the bomb range or the firing range. If the range officials told the Mythbusters that the setup was OK and would not jeopardize anyone then there isn't much more to be put at the Mythbusters feet. The Mythbusters ultimately setup the final details like the angle of fire, but the officials should have the ultimate say if it's OK or not (they should have limitations as well, such as speed and angle of fire). In every episode I've seen, that has been the way it has seemingly went (they look off camera for an OK and then typical start their countdown or fire).

This looked to be a situation where they had a device that could do terrible things as it almost did, yet simply firing in a non-populated direction (if there was one) would have been better. Maybe the "hill" they fired at seemingly gave the perception all these years that an object at speed simply could not climb it or "skip" it. In the end it will spell out extra measures that must take place at that range, or to altogether disallow any such events in the future at that location.

Lies! I am kidding btw.

Be careful what insurance company you choose!
I work in the insurance business, albeit in a fairly low level position. (I hope to be an adjuster by this time next year--I have to have an adjuster's license in my position, but I only work very simple claims like rear-end collisions) I'm not aware of any major problems with the company I work for--there have been problems in the past, but we make changes very quickly for the size of our company, and I'm not aware of any major problems currently. But I hear about the problems people have with certain other insurance companies all the time.
Allstate is awful. DO NOT get your insurance with Allstate. When Hurricane Katrina hit, they denied three times as many claims as anyone else. There was a major lawsuit about it. They have also been sued, quite justifiably it seems, for under-paying injury claims on auto insurance.
State Farm is pretty good when it comes to auto insurance. My understanding is that if your vehicle is totaled, they tend to pay higher amounts than other companies. companies. They are not always great when it comes to homeowners insurance, however. They were also sued for claim denials on Hurricane Katrina.
Liberty Mutual's auto insurance is also quite good. I've not heard any complaints about them, and I got hit by a drunk driver with Liberty Mutual not too long ago. (No one was hurt badly enough that they had to see a doctor, fortunately enough, though I was a bit sore for about a week and a half) They are professional, and have been handling my claim quickly and appropriately. But I can't speak to the homeowner side of their business.
A friend of mine was an property adjuster for Travelers Insurance. If nothing else, I know for a fact that they have very rigorous training for their adjusters. They are trained well enough that they'll be able to spot the damage to your home or auto, and shouldn't miss much.
Do your research, folks! If the insurance company you're considering has been sued in the last six or seven years, be wary!

8 votes won't do for such a happy story. *promote

On a side note--if this happened in America you would be ridiculed and laughed at...then your homeowners association would have your children raped and you house foreclosed on... Man, they are the Mafia (They do have far to much power...)

I'd be concerned if I were the neighbor as well.

1) Property values and comparables.
2) Maintenance of the property.
3) He's living there without water and electricity.

However, if he joins the homeowner's association, maintains his property in accordance with the guidelines, and is a generally good neighbor, more power to him.

Hah! the bank will probably adjust some global amount by .01% to compensate for the loss, then celebrate the newfound money with bonuses.


Nah, they'll just foreclose on a bunch of other people who can't manage this kind of thing, make the money back.

Alright, it's the #1 video now. Could you please, please, please put an "s" at the end of either homeowner or foreclose?

Thanks,lucky!

This vid is the field report in the middle of the vid above. This is therefore much shorter, by half.
