Two anchors on WGN were rewarded for their patience in trying to show a bridge implosion live by...missing it.   After 5 minutes of trying to kill time, they segued to the studio to talk about the weather.    And as soon as they did, the bridge went.

Watch them eat their papers in frustration.  No one likes to miss a bridge implosion.
