ATLANTA — Wednesday marks seven years since an iconic Atlanta moment -- the time when the implosion of the Georgia Dome wasn't seen, infamously blocked by a MARTA bus.
The visual came via the Weather Channel, who had a camera set up with a straight-on view of the Dome that was obscured at the exact moment the implosion began by a MARTA bus that pulled up making its regular stops.
In the time the bus was stopped, the Dome fell, and as it pulled away all that could be seen was the smoky aftermath of the implosion.

The combination of the incredible timing and the mundanity with which the bus went about its regular business, seemingly oblivious to how it was blocking the shot -- plus the audio of a despondent producer pleading with the bus to get out of the way -- has given the video an enduring life online.
But, what's somewhat forgotten now over the years, is that there were indeed plenty of other clear camera angles of the Georgia Dome implosion.
It was a major event, and 11Alive, as well as other news outlets, had many eyes on the scene.
If all you remember through the years is the image of the MARTA bus, and you might be wondering what the actual implosion wound up looking like, we've compiled some of our video angles from the archives below:
You can even actually take a look back at our live coverage of the implosion (the implosion happens at about 32 minutes):
One thing you may notice -- at the time, before it was clear the MARTA bus would become the iconic image of the event, it was actually a big story that two large pieces of wall didn't come down in the implosion and later had to be knocked down.
But, seven years later, it's of course the MARTA bus that everyone remembers.
