Sometimes, even when you plan for months, a random interference can ruin your moment.
It's an unlucky truth that proved too real for the US Weather Channel, which had set up a live stream of the demolition of a stadium in Atlanta, when a public bus stopped in front of their camera during the crucial moment.
It took only 12 seconds to flatten the Georgia Dome on Monday.
Yet shortly after a countdown, the Weather Channel's footage shows a bus pulling in front of the camera, blocking its view so only billowing smoke is visible above the bus.
The frustrated cameraman can be heard swearing exasperatedly as the bus pauses, saying: "Go bus, go away!"
A small portion of the stadium can be seen collapsing above the bus, as the sound of explosions continues.
The cameraman can be heard shouting: "Get out the way, bus! What the f---?"
After the photobombing bus drives away, the building has entirely collapsed, leaving only a large cloud of smoke visible.
James Crugnale, associate science editor at the Weather Channel, said the camera had been set in place for 40 minutes before the implosion.
Also, if you didn't watch with the sound on the first time ... watch again with sound on. You will die laughing some more, and also feel really bad for the producers.??? Brett Taylor (@Brett_A_Taylor) November 20, 2017
Viewers of the video on Twitter described the unlucky timing as "hilarious" and "like a bad sketch".
A spokeswoman for the bus company MARTA, Goldie Taylor posted on Twitter making light of the poor timing, stating "given the potential dangers associated with today's implosion, if this is the biggest story of the day I will take it".
Can confirm it's even more hilarious with sound on.
This incident is officially on the very very short list of "good things in 2017"??? Gene Park (@GenePark) November 20, 2017
What are the odds, really? Only five MARTA buses in the whole city and one shows up there, then.??? Ian Bogost (@ibogost) November 20, 2017
The stadium has previously welcomed over 37 million guests across more than 1400 events, including the 1996 Olympic Games and two Super Bowls in 1994 and 2000.
It was being demolished to allow the expansion of the Georgia World Congress Centre Authority.
According to the Georgia World Congress Centre, more than two tonne of "strategically placed explosives" and 10,000 man hours went into the preparation for the implosion.
