The stadium collapsed on Monday (November 20) at a scheduled implosion at 7:30am local time.

In the video, after a countdown from the watching crowds, a loud rumbling can be heard before the stadium starts to collapse and creates a huge cloud of dust. The watching crowds clap and cheer.

The video also shows the nearby Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home of NFL team the Atlanta Falcons.

Reports said nearly 5,000 pounds of explosives were used in the demolition, which took less than 20 seconds.
