The timing was so perfect it felt like a comedy skit. 
 
 Jason Rudge, an editor with the Weather Channel, set up on Monday to film the planned destruction of the Georgia Dome, the former home of the Atlanta Falcons and where two Super Bowls were once played. Atlanta now has a new, modern center for its sports: the $1.6 billion Mercedes-Benz Stadium erected next door to the old dome. 
 
 After finding what seemed like the perfect spot across the street from the stadium, he live-streamed the crowd gathering for the big moment for 40 minutes. 
 
 The dome’s destruction promised to be a powerful sight. The explosives wired inside would go off for 12 seconds. Three seconds after that, the entire entire 71,250-seat stadium would be on the ground as a pile of smoking rubble, according to the Associated Press. 
 
 A man counted down to the implosion on a loud speaker to prepare the crowds. 
 
 Five. Four. Three. Two. One. 
 
 The moment finally arrived. A small explosion ripped through the dome’s roof and began felling the 25-year-old stadium. Rudge filmed a puff of black smoke shooting out of the building, as a tiny bit of rubble cascaded down its side. 
 
 That’s when things when south for the Weather Channel. 
 
 A public bus glided in front of the camera, while a symphony of explosions filled the air. 
 
 “No bus, get out of the way,” Rudge shouted in an exasperated tone. “Bus!” 
 
 The bus did not acquiesce. Instead, it stopped right in front of the camera, blocking most of the view. 
 
 Rudge’s cries, now laden with expletives, grew louder. 
 
 “Get of the way, bus,” he angrily implored. “Are you …” 
 
 The bus did still not move. The dome crumbled to an enormous pile of ash. Rudge screamed in what sounded like anguish. 
 
 Then, as quickly as it arrived, the bus glided off the moment the spectacle ended. 
 
 Showing a sense of humor, the Weather Channel posted the video to YouTube — with the profanity bleeped out — and titled it “Bus Photobombs The Weather Channel’s Stream of Georgia Dome Implosion.” 
 
 A Weather Channel editor even joked about the moment on Twitter, posting a gif of the bus-blocked implosion with a crying-laughing emoji and the word “noooo.”

 And naturally, quicker than a bus can block a camera, the video became a meme. 
 
 Sports Illustrated tweeted a film clip titled, “Today’s Georgia Dome implosion isn’t the first time the MARTA bus had terrible timing,” in which video of the bus gliding in front of cameras was spliced with shots of various sports. 
 
 In one, for example, the bus pulls up just as a batter swings at a pitch. In another, the bus parks just in time to block a nail-biting shot in basketball.

 Other organizations got in on the action. The Atlanta Hawks posted it final score on Twitter — with the bus edited in to obscure it.

 It even inspired a bit of lyricism. Slate’s Matthew Dessem penned a six-stanza poem about the moment. Its best verse was arguably the forth, which read: 
 
 Blocked off the Dome from view, 
 
 Blocked as the charges blew, 
 
 Angering the camera crew, 
 
 Ruining their TV show, 
 
 Timely arriver. 
 
 Plunged in the stadium-smoke, 
 
 Right through the frame he broke; 
 
 Pulled off a masterstroke, 
 
 One four four fiver. 
 
 Steered by America’s 
 
 Favorite bus driver. 
 
 In the end, neither the Weather Channel nor Rudge caught what they wanted to on film. But, as one Twitter user opined, “Years from now, this will still be what today will be remembered for.” 
 
 Correction: An earlier version of this post stated that James Crugnale was the cameraman filming the implosion. He is an editor for the network, but Jason Rudge was the cameraman.

 ATLANTA (AP) — One of the nation's largest domed stadiums has been destroyed in a scheduled implosion in downtown Atlanta. 
 
 Nearly 5,000 pounds of explosives were on hand to blast the Georgia Dome in Atlanta to smithereens Monday at 7:30 a.m. People gathered at windows of tall office buildings, at a nearby revolving hotel-top restaurant, in parking lots and at other areas around the scene downtown to watch the blast. 
 
 The dome opened in 1992, and it was flattened within about 15 seconds. The Georgia World Congress Center Authority, which includes the 71,250-seat dome, had said it would take 12 seconds for the explosives to go off plus another 3 seconds for sections of grandstands to be on the ground. 
 
 The dome has been replaced by the $1.6 billion Mercedes-Benz Stadium next door. 
 
 A 5-story tall industrial strength curtain between the two stadiums was on the scene to protect the new venue from damage, officials said. Only 83 feet — less than 30 yards — separates the two venues, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. 
 
 The new stadium is home to the NFL's Atlanta Falcons and Major League Soccer's Atlanta United. 
 
 In addition to the retractable roof that opens like a camera lens, Mercedes-Benz Stadium boasts a 1,100-foot "halo board" video display and a giant steel sculpture of a falcon with its 70-foot wingspan at one of the main entrances. 
 
 Several streets and parts of Atlanta's transit system were closed, police said, to accommodate the blast and spectators. 
 
 The idea for the Georgia Dome dates to the mid-1980s, when civic leaders recommended a domed football stadium adjoining the city's largest convention center, the Georgia World Congress Center. 
 
 The Georgia Dome has been the site of high school football state championships, Peach Bowls, SEC championship games, two Super Bowls, 1996 Olympic basketball, three Final Four NCAA basketball tournaments, concerts, pro wrestling and other events. ||||| Two armed men made a fatal mistake when they stormed a pharmacy in the city of Campo Limpo Paulista in Brazil on Saturday and announced that they were robbing the place. 
 
 Among the shoppers was an off-duty Sao Paulo police sergeant, Rafael Souza, with his wife and infant. One of the men, wearing a masked hoodie, pointed a gun at Souza, who was carrying the infant on his left arm, police said. 
 
 According to the Brazilian paper Estadao, Souza pulled his own weapon and engaged the men in a 25-second running gun battle, some of which was captured on surveillance footage now circulating across the globe. 
 
 The video shows Souza with one eye on his targets and another on his wife, who is taking cover behind in one of the store’s aisles. At one point, his wife reaches out for the child. Souza, who is already firing at the men, pauses for a split second, darts back to her, hands off the child and resumes firing. 
 
 Ultimately he hit both men. When paramedics arrived on the scene, they were pronounced dead. 
 
 Souza told investigators he fired first because he believed they would have opened fire if he told them he was a police officer. 
 
 A similar incident happened in 2014 when an off-duty officer and his family were attacked by an armed robber on the street in Sao Paulo. The officer’s three-month-old daughter slipped out of her father’s hands and landed on the concrete. The officer fired at the attacker and held him until authorities arrived. His daughter suffered minor injuries.

 Weather Channel tried to film Georgia Dome implosion. But along came a bus.
– "I am CRYING." That was just one online reaction to an ill-fated photo shoot that was meant to capture a planned stadium implosion. Photographers gathered near the Georgia Dome in downtown Atlanta on Monday, waiting to snap a shot of the controlled destruction of the 71,000-seat structure, and among them was the Weather Channel's James Crugnale, who arrived nearly an hour ahead of time to nab his "perfect" vantage point across the street and livestream the gathering crowd, per the Washington Post. Except that it was also the perfect pull-over spot for a city bus, which pulled up right in front of Crugnale at the exact moment black smoke started to spew from the top of the dome to mark the beginning of the implosion. "Get out of the way, bus! What the f---?!" an incredulous Crugnale can be heard saying, in between frustrated yells, in the now-viral video of his experience. The bus lingered for less than 20 seconds, but by the time it pulled away, the dome had already disappeared into a massive cloud of white dust. "TFW you stream the #GAdome being demolished for 40 minutes and a bus stops in front of the camera at the exact moment it implodes," Crugnale lamented on Twitter.
