Try looking up Aloha 243 then (fatigue failure plus decompression), or CAL 611.
Mythbusters (I believe from other reports - I don't watch it) disproved that firing a gun in a presurrised aircraft would cause a hole that would then tear it apart. Big deal - others have proved the same in real life (including pilots, recently).
What they didn't prove was that ED following other types of failure, eg. fatigue, doesn't cause significant damage, or indeed tear an aircraft apart. They would be silly to try and prove that, since there are plenty of examples of it actually happening.
