The stadium refused to fall at its own demolition. 🏟️

The stadium refused to fall at its own demolition. 🏟️ . . . On December 3, 2017, spectators heard blasts and watched dust engulf Michigan's Pontiac Silverdome. But faulty wiring stopped several charges from severing its supports, so the 82,000-seat arena remained upright. It finally came down on December 4 during a second, successful implosion attempt.
