There's some irony in there somewhere right?

Can't even implode properly

never demonstrated such fortitiude while plaaying there!
December 3rd, 2017 at 10:27 AM ^
So now that they have destabilized the structure, how is is safe for them to go in and "attach cables" or plant more charges?

Oh, so there are charges set for detonation that did not go off in there too, that sounds a lot safer.
December 3rd, 2017 at 10:31 AM ^
That won't collapse.

Just one more example of ineptitude on display at the silverdome.
WFC is looking down and snickering like montgomery burns.
Only in pontiac and only at the dome. Vintage.

It was circa 1995, and the drum was beating again for Fontes’s dismissal. The Lions were off to a horrible start and the piranhas in the media and the frustrated callers to talk radio were nailing the coach to the cross. It was not an atypical thing during Fontes’s tenure.
“That’s OK,” Fontes said on radio, or TV, or maybe both. “I’m the Big Buck. Everyone is aiming for me. Everyone wants to take down the Big Buck.”

Officials say it will eventually collapse which is the most Lions thing ever said.

The ONLY implosion that failed to go off there.

Is it that it failed to collapse or is it that it pretty much looks the same as a pile of concrete and rubble?

If there is an upside, it was the jokes on Twitter when it became clear that what was supposed to happen did not happen and probably wasn't going to happen in the near term (hours, days.....who knows).
I will say this - it is the first time that a letdown at the Silverdome inspired feelings of nostalgia rather than irritation.

"Immediately it looked like...all the kicker charges went off and (we) didn't know until we went in there and found the shaped charges didn't go off on the eight columns,"
He went on to say that they'd had trouble getting unauthorized people out of the structure, which makes me wonder why they didn't do any final double-checking of the lines.

They can't even blow the damn thing up succesfully.

I really hope this thing sits out there for days like some kind of short-term Centralia, Pennsylvania, a victim of its own hubris, burning and on the verge of collapse at any moment, with nothing anyone can do about it.
