Second blast planned to fell stubborn elements of stadium.
If you were watching the Georgia Dome implosion on 20 November, you might have noticed that it wasn’t a complete success. A misfire of the explosives left Gate B and the East Wall still standing once the dust settled. That will be remedied on Dec. 20 with a second implosion.
This implosion is set to happen at 1 am (local time) on that Wednesday morning to cut down on impact to traffic and MARTA rail, which runs directly under the Dome site. A study of the site determined that a “supplemental implosion” would be the safest way to bring down the remains of the Dome.
A 450-foot safety zone will be in effect around the perimeter of the Georgia Dome.
