Related Topics: Georgia Dome

The Weather Channel was all set to document the end of Atlanta's Georgia Dome Monday morning (Nov. 20) when a Marta bus arrived and blocked the view just as the fireworks began.

Viewers didn't get to see much as the Georgia Dome was imploded with nearly 5,000 pounds of explosives.

The dome was the former home of the NFL's Atlanta Falcons and also the site of two Super Bowls, 1996 Olympics Games events and NCAA basketball tournaments among other major events.

It's being replaced by the $1.6 billion Mercedes-Benz Stadium next door.
