And finally… Bus blocks live feed of stadium demolition
A live broadcast of the demolition of a stadium in the United States was ruined when a bus pulled up and blocked the view.
The Georgia Dome stadium in Atlanta was razed to the ground yesterday and the Weather Channel set up a camera to catch the historic 80,000-seat arena’s final moments.
Unfortunately, with the camera set up on the opposite side of a busy street, a city bus driver had other ideas, stopping directly in front of the stadium to watch the show, thereby blocking the view of the live feed.

The cameraman can be heard swearing at the bus, exclaiming “get out of the way, bus!” as the crowd blessed with full sight of the demolition cheers. By the time the bus departs, all that is left is a dust cloud, and a very unhappy cameraman.
The famous stadium has hosted two Superbowls and the 1996 Olympics and was, until Monday, home to the Atlanta Falcons.
It has been replaced by the Mercedes-Benz stadium, which opened in August.
