June 7, 2019 By Eric Reagan

Weather Channel’s Video of Georgia Dome Implosion is Hilariously Interrupted

November 24, 2017 By Eric Reagan

After 40 minutes of live streaming the wait up to the Georgia Dome’s implosion, a surprise photobomber ruins the big moment.

There are only about 5 seconds of total action as a demolition crew implodes the Georgia Dome and the Weather Channel camera crew have the perfect spot to capture the moment. Unfortunately, no one thought about a Marta bus pulling in front of the camera at the climax.

In the background, you can hear the camera man quietly pleading for the bus to get out of the way – mixed in with a few bleeped-out expletives.

It’s not a total loss though. This fail moment has given the video a bit a traction as it has garnered nearly a million views over the past few days.

LSU Mascot vs. Photographer

June 7, 2011 By Eric Reagan

Tigers 1 – Photographer 0

I’m thinking the mascot was trying to jump over the photographer here. Or, maybe he just lost him in his peripheral vision due to the costume. Either way, that’s a tough way to be taken out of the game. [Read more…]
