Bus Drives Weather Channel Photog Crazy; Ruins Live Shot, But Funny Anyway

The Weather Channel tried to show us the Georgia Dome
implosion this week. It didn't go well. 
The other day, crews conducted a controlled explosion to bring down the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.

The former home of the Atlanta Falcons was demolished now that the adjacent Mercedes-Benz Stadium is now open.

The Weather Channel videographer set up his camera at a perfect angle to capture the implosion.

Then, a photobomber ruined it. Definitely an ARGGG!! moment, judging from the bleeped out words of the videographer in the video you are about to see,  and funny for us.

Little Boy Has Every Little Boy Dream Come True: He Blows Up A Building

DJ Pitts, 4, getting ready to
demolish a 19 story building.
Can I be next?  
I totally envy this four year old kid in Atlanta.

Children's Healthcare Hospital of Atlanta acquired the old, abandoned Executive Park Hotel next door. They had to get rid of the 19 story building to make way for an expansion.

A building demolition team set up the structure to implode, and the hospital selected a patient, DJ Pitts, 4, to hit the button that would set off the charges to bring the old hotel down.

He, and several other people got all dolled up in Superhero outfits for the event.

Wouldn't it be fun, as a four year old boy, to destroy a 19 story building? With permission from your parents and the people who own the building?

I feel sorry for Pitts that he was so sick. (He'd had several surgeries on his esophagus and stomach after accidentally swallowing engine cleaner.)

But man, blowing up a building? How cool is that?!?

Here's the video:
