Too bad the Falcons aren't playing home today, they'd have a while new meaning of blowing it.

I wonder, who the other 2 helicopters were over the scene (obviously, one was Channel 2 and other was Channel 5)

When the dust cleared, two sections of the Georgia Dome’s outside walls were still standing.

Rick Cuppetilli, executive vice president of lead demolition contractor Adamo Group, said those sections will be mechanically demolished.

“We have to investigate whether the charges (in those sections) went off,” he said. “If the charges went off, it’s not going to take much at all (to knock the walls down).”

Otherwise, he said, everything went as planned.

However, some of the stadium’s eastern wall—including two sections of upper deck paneling—and the northwest corner of the structure remained standing when the dust cleared.

Initial reports indicate the walls were supposed to collapse; now, they’ll be brought down mechanically if the explosives within failed to perform. It’s unclear if the charges went off in those areas.

How ironic the billboard in the forefront says Up with Matt Ryan.
