YOLO COUNTY, Calif. -- A big explosion, in the name of science, scared a lot of people in a small town.
Mythbusters went to Yolo County and ended up with a bigger bang than expected.
"It was a boom that was just -- I had never heard anything like that before, it was really weird," said Sherril Stephens.
The explosion was so big it shook the town of Esparto, knocking Stephens off her couch and breaking her front window.
"Course all the neighbors ran out into the street. We didn't know what was going on," said Paul Williams, who heard the explosion.
Some people said they thought it was a plane crash, others, a house explosion.
