It rarely matters what the show, lots of set up to provide phony drama. I was watching a show on recovering cannon from a wreck and the narrator was dramatizing the recovery of a 800lb cannon and how lethal the cable would be if it broke.

Well its absolutely true that if the cable was to break it could be lethal but from the looks of the cable it appeared to be at least one inch diameter, maybe slightly larger... What are the odds of such a thing breaking if used with reasonable care... Not much... Just trying to add drama where there wasn't any... Same with gun shows and almost any other show.
