Stadium falls at second time of asking.
The second time’s a charm.
Crews tried once again to demolish the upper ring of the Pontiac Silverdome yesterday afternoon after Sunday’s failure, and this time they succeeded, or at least made progress.
At about 4:05 pm local time, an ear-rattling boom sounded in Pontiac and the black metal exterior of the upper bowl of the Silverdome disappeared in cloud of dust, exposing the concrete innards of the stadium, which remain standing.
The second explosion, announced less than 30 minutes before detonation, left tardy gawkers disappointed they didn’t get to see it.
