President Trump plans to designate North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism on Monday, years after the hermit nation was removed from the list during the George W. Bush administration. Speaking to members of his Cabinet, Trump said the designation "should have happened a long time ago." The White House expects the move to put further pressure on North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to abandon his nuclear and ballistic missile programs.

President Trump announced Monday that the United States is designating North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism, something he said "should have happened a long time ago."

Trump announced the designation in a Cabinet meeting at the White House, clearing the way for more sanctions on the "murderous" rogue regime, just days after returning from his historic 13-day trip to Asia.

"We will be instituting a very critical step," Trump said. "Today, the U.S. is designating North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism. [This] should have happened a long time ago -- should have happened years ago."

'[This] should have happened a long time ago -- should have happened years ago.'
- President Trump

With the president's directive, North Korea will return to the State Department's list of designated state sponsors of terrorism for the first time since its removal by the Bush administration in 2008. North Korea will be among Iran, Sudan and Syria.

"North Korea has repeatedly supported acts of international terrorism including assassinations on foreign soil," Trump said Monday. "... This designation will impose further sanctions and penalties on North Korea and related persons."

Trump also cited the death of American college student Otto Warmbier, who was imprisoned in North Korea and died days after being returned to the U.S. in a coma.
OTTO WARMBIER DEAD ; FORMER US PRISONER OF NORTH KOREA WAS 22
Trump added that the designation supports a "maximum-pressure campaign" on the "murderous regime."

Trump explained that sanctions would be imposed over a two-week period and would constitute the "highest level of sanctions" on North Korea.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson floated the idea of re-designating North Korea to the list in April.

On Monday, Tillerson told reporters at the White House press briefing that the move underscores "North Korea's illicit, unlawful behaviors internationally."

But the "symbolic" designation of North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism, as Tillerson described it, does not mean the Trump administration is abandoning the push for peaceful negotiations.

"We still hope for diplomacy," Tillerson said. "This is all part of continuing to turn this pressure up and we've continued to turn the pressure up on North Korea by getting other countries to join and take actions on their own."

Tillerson said the new sanctions would "tighten the pressure" on Kim Jong Un's regime.

"It is very symbolic on the one hand-it points out again what a rogue regime this is, and how brutal of a regime it is and how little they care about the value of human life," Tillerson said. "That makes a strong statement. Practical effects may be limited, but hopefully we're closing off a few loopholes with this."

According to the State Department, once designated, a country or nation state faces sanctions resulting in restrictions on U.S. foreign assistance; a ban on defense exports and sales; certain controls over exports of dual use items; and miscellaneous financial and other restrictions.

The president's designation comes after months of fiery rhetoric toward North Korea's rogue dictator Kim Jong Un, whom Trump has warned repeatedly to cease nuclear activities.

Border patrol officer gets jumped by illegal immigrants, head was bashed in.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Illegal immigrants appeared to have "ambushed" two U.S. Border Patrol agents near the Texas border with Mexico and bashed their heads with blunt objects -- possibly rocks -- killing one agent and sending another to a hospital in serious condition Sunday, a National Border Patrol Council official told Fox News.

Rogelio Martinez, 36, was killed and another agent, who has not been identified, was injured while they were patrolling the Big Bend Sector, leading authorities to scour West Texas for the attackers, officials said. Although few details about the incident have been released, Brandon Judd, the president of the NBPC, told Fox News on Monday it appeared Martinez and the second agent were "ambushed" by a group of illegal immigrants.

"We don't know exactly what happened because we weren't there. However, just from agents that were working in the area, reports are saying it was an attack and it would appear to be an ambush," Judd said.

He added: "There's a high likelihood this was an assault on the agents."

Judd said Martinez died of blunt force trauma to the head, indicating the attackers most likely used a rock or rocks during the assault. The second agent also suffered blunt force trauma to the head. The area surrounding where the attack occurred also indicated rocks were likely used as weapons. An FBI official also said that, counter to initial reports, neither agent was shot.

"There were no indications the agents fired their weapons," Judd said, citing accounts he received from agents who responded to the incident. He also said there were no signs of a stabbing.

Martinez was notified there was illegal immigrant traffic in the area while the agents were patrolling near Interstate 10, in the Van Horn Station area, according to Judd. He began following "footprints" on a trail when he was ambushed. U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a news release that Martinez's partner made the initial call for help and reported they were injured and needed assistance.

"There's a high likelihood this was an assault on the agents."
- Brandon Judd

Judd said details remained foggy on what led to the ambush and the FBI was investigating the incident.

Judd did not further comment on the second agent's condition.

Martinez was from El Paso and had worked as a border agent since August 2013, assigned to the Big Bend Sector. He was also a father and brother, KFOX14 reported.

Border Patrol records showed the agency's Big Bend sector, which includes the area where Sunday's attack took place, accounted for about 1 percent of the more than 61,000 apprehensions its agents made along the Southwest border between October 2016 and May 2017. The region's mountains make it a difficult area for people to cross illegally into the U.S. from Mexico.

The Border Patrol website lists 38 agents, not including Martinez, who have died since late 2003 - some attacked while working along the border and others killed in traffic accidents. Martinez is the second agent to have died this year.

President Trump tweeted Sunday night: "Border Patrol Officer killed at Southern Border, another badly hurt. We will seek out and bring to justice those responsible. We will, and must, build the Wall!"

Serial Killer Charles Manson is Dead. And Marilyn Manson is posting tweets saying that is a lie.

Marilyn Manson has responded to the death of Charles Manson.

Notorious cult leader Charles Manson died in a hospital in California on Sunday (November 19). He was 83.

Shock-rocker Marilyn Manson, whose stage name was inspired in part by Charles Manson, has reacted to the news by tweeting a mock Life magazine cover featuring a photo of Manson and the word "Lie". He also linked to his cover of Charles Manson's 'Sick City'. See that tweet below.

A statement released by the California Department of Corrections confirmed that Charles Manson died of natural causes last night, after he was reportedly hospitalised last week.

Charles Manson shocked the world in 1969 after leading the Manson Family, a notorious cult that committed the murders of pregnant actress Sharon Tate and eight other victims on his orders. Tate was found stabbed to death in her Hollywood home, while other victims included celebrity hair stylist Jay Sebring and coffee empire heiress Abigail Folger.

When police investigated the deaths, they discovered that Manson had sent his followers to commit the murders as part of a sickening belief that it would start a race war which had been prophesied in 'Helter Skelter' by The Beatles.

After being sentenced to death in 1971, his conviction was eventually commuted into a life sentence, with Manson remaining imprisoned in California until his death.

Before the murders, Ohio-born Manson also spent time as a singer-songwriter on the LA music scene. Several recordings of his music have been released over the years to capitalise on his notoriety.

Trump slams Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch for sitting for national anthem, but standing for Mexican Anthem.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
President Trump on Monday slammed a top NFL player who sat for "The Star-Spangled Banner" but stood for Mexico's national anthem, and offered a new directive: suspend him for the "remainder of the season."

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch sat during the majority of the U.S. national anthem, but stood for the Mexican anthem before his team's game Sunday against the New England Patriots at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City.

"Marshawn Lynch of the NFL's Oakland Raiders stands for the Mexican Anthem and sits down to boos for our National Anthem. Great disrespect!" Trump tweeted. "Next time NFL should suspend him for the remainder of the season. Attendance and ratings way down."

The president has seemingly taken it easy on the NFL for the past few weeks -- likely because he was overseas for a 13-day Asia tour. But Sunday, he again addressed the NFL's national anthem controversy.

According to Sports Illustrated, Lynch has protested the anthem all season, and has not stood for the anthem since coming out of retirement to join the Raiders.

NFL players who have protested the national anthem this season by taking a knee, or sitting on the bench, reportedly do so to protest police brutality and injustice, rather than the U.S.

The now months-long feud began dominating headlines in September after a rally in Alabama when Trump called for players to be fired if they disrespected the flag, spurring the controversy.

"Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say 'get that son of a b--- off the field right now? Out! He's fired! He's fired!" Trump said to the crowd at the rally, drawing criticism from NFL players, as well as NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

The president has repeatedly tweeted about his disappointment in the NFL players, and managers for their lack of "rules and regulations" to ensure players stand for the anthem.

A teenager was adopted by his former English teacher.

A Texas teenager has a forever home in time for the holidays after being adopted by his former teacher.

"I really couldn't sleep last night," Anthony Berry, 16, told reporters last week after being adopted by Bennie Berry, who became a first-time mom.

"I told mom, I was like, 'I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep,'" he said. "She was like, 'I don't think I am either.'"

Anthony of Beaumont first met Berry last November when she was his English teacher. By January, Anthony asked her to adopt him.

ABCNews.com

"How many kids my age get adopted nowadays?" said Anthony, who had been in foster care since the age of 9.

He did not think he ever wanted to be adopted, until he met Berry.

Anthony asked his now mom to adopt him by asking her to look at a website. Berry told him to finish his work first.

"Finish your assignment and then you can show me the website," she recalled telling Anthony. "Then later I found out that it was really an option to adopt him, so we pushed forward."

Berry described her son as an "ideal" and "model" student.

"I have a son. I'm more than elated," she said. "I have a son for the rest of my life."

Democrats beginning to get worried about trumps ability to launch nuclear missiles.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Members of the Senate foreign affairs committee called into question a decades-old presidential authority to deploy nuclear weapons in what was the first congressional hearing on nuclear authorization in decades.

"We are concerned that the President of the United States is so unstable, is so volatile, has a decision-making process that is so quixotic that he might order a nuclear weapons strike that is wildly out of step with US national security interests," said Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Connecticut.

Sen. Ed Markey, a Democrat from Massachusetts, echoed those concerns: "Many Americans fear that the President's words could turn into nuclear reality."

Republican members of the committee were less blunt in their criticism of Trump's judgment but did seek assurance that there are legal and strategic oversight measures in place to prevent the rash use of nuclear weapons.

Ultimately, the panel warned against legislative changes to rein in the President's authority to exercise nuclear authority.

"I think hard cases make bad law, and I think if we were to change the decision-making process in some way because of a distrust of this President, I think that would be an unfortunate precedent," said Brian Mckeon, who previously served as Principal Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Policy during the Obama administration.

Retired Air Force Gen. Robert Kehler, who previously served as the commander of US Strategic Command under President Barack Obama, explained that there are layers of safeguards within the current system designed to ensure any order is both legal and proportionally appropriate.

"US nuclear forces operate under strict civilian control. Only the President of the United States can order the employment of US nuclear weapons," Kehler said at the hearing.

"This is a system controlled by human beings ... nothing happens automatically," he said, adding that the US military does not blindly follow orders and a presidential order to employ nuclear weapons must be legal.

While the President retains constitutional authority to order some military action, Kehler explained that the nuclear decision process "includes assessment, review and consultation between the President and key civilian and military leaders, followed by transmission and implementation of any Presidential decision by the forces themselves."

"If there is an illegal order presented to the military, the military is obligated to refuse to follow it," he said.

Dr. Peter Feaver, a professor of public policy and political science at Duke University, also highlighted the point that any nuclear launch would be preceded by a review and consultation process.

"The system is not a button that the President can accidentally lean on against the desk and immediately cause missiles to fly as some people in the public, I think, fear it would be," Feaver testified, adding that the decision requires the President to work with military aides who are attending him -- who have possession of the materials he needs -- and personnel at all levels from top commanders all the way down to service members working in the missile silo to carry out an order.

"The President by himself cannot press a button and cause missiles to fly. He can only give an authenticated order which others would follow and then missiles would fly," he said.

The administration has been trying to soothe concerns by arguing the existing launch process that presidents have operated under for decades has sufficient checks in place that would discourage Trump from taking imprudent action. Trump himself has had multiple briefings on the nuclear launch cycle and more conventional, non-nuclear alternatives.

A reporter for the New York Times was accused of sexual misconduct, "We intend to fully investigate and while we do, Glenn will be suspended," the spokesperson said. "We support his decision to enter a substance abuse program. In the meantime, we will not be commenting further."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A star political reporter at the New York Times has been suspended following a story detailing alleged sexual misconduct involving younger, female journalists.

In a statement, a spokesperson for the Times called the allegations against Glenn Thrush, one of the newspaper's top reporters covering the Trump administration, "very concerning and not in keeping with the standards and values of The New York Times."

"We intend to fully investigate and while we do, Glenn will be suspended," the spokesperson said. "We support his decision to enter a substance abuse program. In the meantime, we will not be commenting further."

A story published Monday by the policy and politics website Vox.com said that Thrush has " a history of bad judgment around young women journalists."

The story included allegations from three women, as well as the article's author Laura McGann, who together accused Thrush of "a range of similar experiences" that included unwanted groping and kissing and "hazy sexual encounters that played out under the influence of alcohol."

Thrush joined the Times late last year after a successful eight-year run at Politico. Since joining the paper, he has teamed up with fellow Times reporter Maggie Haberman, herself a former Politico writer, to deliver some of the biggest stories about President Trump's White House. The two interviewed Trump earlier this year, and they landed a deal to write a book about the president.

In an email to CNN, Thrush said of the allegations against him:

"I apologize to any woman who felt uncomfortable in my presence, and for any situation where I behaved inappropriately. Any behavior that makes a woman feel disrespected or uncomfortable is unacceptable.

"My recollection of my interactions with Laura differs greatly from hers -- the encounter was consensual, brief, and ended by me. She was an editor above me at the time and I did not disparage her to colleagues at POLITICO as she claims. The assertion that I would rate women based on their appearance is also false.

"I have never offered mentorship or reporting advice to anyone, man or woman, with an expectation of anything in return. To assert otherwise is false.

"The June incident related in the story was a life-changing event. The woman involved was upset by my actions and for that I am deeply sorry.

"Over the past several years, I have responded to a succession of personal and health crises by drinking heavily. During that period, I have done things that I am ashamed of, actions that have brought great hurt to my family and friends.

"I have not taken a drink since June 15, 2017, have resumed counseling and will soon begin out-patient treatment for alcoholism. I am working hard to repair the damage I have done."

Politico CEO Patrick Steel addressed the Vox story in an email to staff on Monday, calling the allegations against Thrush "serious and disturbing."

"The notion that anyone at POLITICO would be subjected to harassment-or feel as though they couldn't speak out-is totally unacceptable to me," Steel said. "Our standards and values leave no ambiguity-this behavior will not be tolerated, period."

A deputy's dashcam captured the moments when a small plane crashed onto a road in Clearwater, Florida, Sunday morning.

As seen in the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office's dashcam footage, the single-engine plane is flying low over the road and suddenly banks to its left, soaring right over the deputy's squad car.

Pinellas County Sheriff

Two deputies responded within seconds of the plane's crashing onto the road. Luckily, according to authorities, the pilot who owns the plane and his passenger were able to walk away from the crash.

Fortunately, no bystanders were injured, either.

The plane is a four-seater 1975 Rockwell International 112A fixed-wing, single-engine aircraft, according to ABC affiliate WFTS in Tampa.

The sheriff's office said the pilot and his passenger took off from Clearwater Air Park earlier that morning and went to Zephyrhills, which is about 50 miles away. The pilot told authorities they were returning to the Clearwater Air Park when "something went wrong." The plane went down about half a mile away from the air park.

Deputies say the pilot thinks an engine problem was to blame, but no official cause has not been determined yet.

In Atlanta, the Georgia Dome was torn down on Monday. It took just 15 seconds.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
One of the nation's largest domed stadiums is set for implosion.

Nearly 5,000 pounds of explosives are on hand to blast the Georgia Dome in Atlanta to smithereens Monday at 7:30 a.m.

If all goes well, the dome that opened in 1992 will be flattened within about 15 seconds. The Georgia World Congress Center Authority, which includes the 71,250-seat dome, says it should take 12 seconds for the explosives to go off plus another 3 seconds for sections of grandstands to be on the ground.

The dome has been replaced by the $1.6 billion Mercedes-Benz Stadium next door.

A 5-story tall industrial strength curtain between the two stadiums is supposed to protect the new venue from damage, officials said. Only 83 feet - less than 30 yards - separates the two venues, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

The new stadium is home to the NFL's Atlanta Falcons and Major League Soccer's Atlanta United.

In addition to the retractable roof that opens like a camera lens, Mercedes-Benz Stadium boasts a 1,100-foot "halo board" video display and a giant steel sculpture of a falcon with its 70-foot wingspan at one of the main entrances.

Several streets and parts of Atlanta's transit system will close, police said, as many of the city's residents watch the blast against the early morning sky.

The idea for the Georgia Dome dates to the mid-1980s, when civic leaders recommended a domed football stadium adjoining the city's largest convention center, the Georgia World Congress Center.

The Georgia Dome has been the site of high school football state championships, Peach Bowls, SEC championship games, two Super Bowls, 1996 Olympic basketball, three Final Four NCAA basketball tournaments, concerts, pro wrestling and other events.

The top generals push back on the order from Donald  Trump he said it was "illegal" for nuclear strike

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Speaking at the Halifax International Security Forum in Nova Scotia, Canada, Gen. John Hyten, who is the commander of US Strategic Command, shared what would happen if he were ordered to launch a nuclear strike.

"I provide advice to the President," Hyten said. "He'll tell me what to do, and if it's illegal, guess what's going to happen? I'm gonna say, 'Mr. President, that's illegal.' Guess what he's going to do? He's going to say, 'What would be legal?' And we'll come up with options of a mix of capabilities to respond to whatever the situation is, and that's the way it works. It's not that complicated."

US Strategic Command oversees US nuclear weapons and missile defense.

Hyten's remarks come after a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing this week on the President's authority to launch nuclear weapons -- the first such congressional hearing in more than 40 years.

While the President retains that authority, Hyten publicly emphasized that the US military always has the obligation to follow only legal orders, including those entailing the launch of nuclear weapons.

Testimony at Senate hearing

At the Senate hearing this week, experts testified that the use of nuclear weapons must be proportional to a threat, and the Pentagon has extensive options for use of conventional weapons against North Korea.

Retired Air Force Gen. Robert Kehler, who previously served as the commander of US Strategic Command under President Barack Obama, explained at the hearing that there are layers of safeguards within the current system designed to ensure any order is both legal and proportionally appropriate.

"US nuclear forces operate under strict civilian control. Only the President of the United States can order the employment of US nuclear weapons," Kehler said.

"This is a system controlled by human beings ... nothing happens automatically," he said, adding that the US military does not blindly follow orders and a presidential order to employ nuclear weapons must be legal.

While the President retains constitutional authority to order some military action, Kehler explained that the nuclear decision process "includes assessment, review and consultation between the President and key civilian and military leaders, followed by transmission and implementation of any Presidential decision by the forces themselves."

"If there is an illegal order presented to the military, the military is obligated to refuse to follow it," he said.

Anxiety over Trump

Members of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee called into question a decades-old presidential authority to deploy nuclear weapons.

"We are concerned that the President of the United States is so unstable, is so volatile, has a decision-making process that is so quixotic that he might order a nuclear weapons strike that is wildly out of step with US national security interests," said US Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Connecticut.

Republican members of the committee were less blunt in their criticism of Trump's judgment but did seek assurances that there are legal and strategic oversight measures in place to prevent the rash use of nuclear weapons.

Ultimately, some of those who testified warned against legislative changes to rein in the President's authority to exercise nuclear authority.

Brian McKeon, who served as principal deputy undersecretary of defense for policy in the Obama administration, told the committee: "I think hard cases make bad law, and I think if we were to change the decision-making process in some way because of a distrust of this President, I think that would be an unfortunate precedent."

During the AMAs when Christine Aguilera was performing Pink gave her a dirty look.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
That's Pink's message after people on social media accused her of grimacing during Aguilera's performance at Sunday night's American Music Awards.

To commemorate the 25th anniversary of "The Bodyguard" and its blockbuster soundtrack, Aguilera performed a medley of songs in honor of the late Whitney Houston.

Photos of Pink appearing to make a face during the performance quickly started making the rounds on Twitter and elsewhere.

The two pop stars have had issues in the past, but Pink denied Sunday that she was grimacing and retweeted Fuse TV's Mark Sundstrom, who said the pair are all good now.

"@Pink and @Xtina deaded their beef last year and have been FRIENDS since, respecting each other's amazing talent as grown women," Sundstorm tweeted. "Stop creating something out of nothing@TheShadyFacts."

Pink added to that by tweeting, "Christina f***ing killed it tonight for one of our favorite singers ever. This about Whitney, and I am in awe of Christina's talent. Show the clip where I'm in tears, you negative Nancy's."

In October Pink told Andy Cohen on his "Watch What Happens Live" show that she and Aguilera didn't get along when they were young artists in the industry.

Aguilera swung on her in a club, said Pink, adding that they later settled their differences. "We're fine." she said. "She's a really sweet person."

"We made up on 'The Voice,' Pink added. "I mean, it was funny, I laughed. I hadn't seen her in years and years and years."

One dead, one missing after boat found spinning off California coast.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
One person was found dead and another is missing after a boat was discovered spinning in circles off the California coast Sunday, officials said.

The 17-foot boat was found around 1 p.m. adrift about 8 miles south of Pillar Point Harbor in Half Moon Bay, located about 24 miles south of San Francisco, the Coast Guard said in a news release.

A Coast Guard cutter is now searching for Tuan "Tom" Tran, who is believed to have been operating the vessel. Harbor personnel found one boater unresponsive earlier in the day near the adrift vessel, which was reported to have two people aboard, including Tran.

When officials originally found the fishing boat, it was spinning in circles out of control.

"Once you lose control of the helm, boats are designed to circle," Sgt. John Gonzales with the San Mateo County Sheriff's Department told ABC 7. "It's a steering mechanism. It kind of pulls forward. It pulls to the right or left and it will stay in that circle."

Authorities let the boat run out of fuel before they were able to safely approach it. Officials then towed it to a nearby harbor as part of the investigation.

Gonzales said boat incident appeared to be an accident, but authorities wanted to check to make sure "everything is fine."

The Deputy Harbormaster believes neither of the two people on the boat were wearing a life jacket.

"I'm not sure if they would have survived in this situation," Cary Smith told ABC 7. "But certainly they would have had their heads above water or long enough for somebody to have seen them."

Coast Guard officials searched for Tran into Sunday night, and planned to continue the search into Monday.

The family of a 5-year-old boy who died after being crushed in a rotating restaurant atop a downtown Atlanta tower has filed a lawsuit against the restaurant, its owners and staff.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The boy, Charles Holt, was at the Sun Dial restaurant with his family during a visit to Atlanta. The dining spot tops the 73-story cylindrical Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel and rotates to give patrons a panoramic view of the city.

Holt died after being trapped between a table and a moving wall.

The suit alleges the restaurant, as well as the hotel and others, were negligent in failing to address a "longstanding safety hazard" that led to Holt's death.

The suit also alleges there were no protections to stop children from getting trapped at a "pinch point" and that no emergency stop mechanism was in place to quickly stop the rotation should an emergency arise.

"The control box that controlled the rotation of the platform was mounted against the ceiling in in a separate room away from the pinch point."

Marriott International, which owns the hotel and is named in the lawsuit, refused to comment.

"We do not comment on pending litigation," Jeff Flaherty, senior director of global crisis communications & corporate affairs at Marriott International, told CNN via email.

The Holts also dispute initial reports from Atlanta Police that the boy had wandered off from their table while they were having lunch.

The suit says the family was leaving the restaurant together, after paying for their meal, and the child was a few steps in front of his parents when he became trapped. "Charlie's parents were only a few feet behind him and immediately went to help him," the suit says.

The suit also describes in detail the harrowing moments after Holt became trapped -- and the frantic efforts to free him that were made his father, Michael, and his mother, Rebecca.

"Rebecca grabbed his arm but could not move him. Michael could not free him," the suit says. "The Holts screamed for help, for someone to stop the movement."

"After a restaurant employee finally went down the hall to a separate room and stopped the rotation, it still took several grown men what seemed like an eternity to get Charlie out," the suit adds.

Charlie was taken to nearby Grady Memorial Hospital and died a few hours later.

A separate statement released by the family's attorney accuses Marriott of endangering the safety of their guests.

"If Marriott had acted responsibly in the face of this known safety hazard, this tragedy would have been prevented. It is never acceptable for a business to needlessly endanger patrons," the statement says.

The family is seeking unspecified damages for negligence as well as a jury trial.

"The family has filed this law suit to set the record straight about what happened and to make sure, to the best of their abilities, that no other family ever has to suffer the same fate," the statement adds.

Georgia dome was imploded after 25 years of use

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A little more than 25 years after opening, the Georgia Dome, former home of the Atlanta Falcons and the scene for several historic sporting events, was imploded Monday morning. The adjacent Mercedes-Benz Stadium opened this summer.

The blast occurred just after 7:30 a.m. ET. Most of the structure collapsed, though parts of it remained upright.

In the dome's place in downtown Atlanta will include a hotel, parking and green space. What will remain is a spot jampacked full of memories.

"As far as the stadium goes, for me it starts with the fans," Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said. "That's the first thing you remember about a place, the enthusiasm of the fans and a city and what it brings to a stadium. That's what I think of, the fans, the city and the love they have for the team."

Major events and a natural disaster

Groundbreaking on the Georgia Dome began in November 1989 and work was completed in March 1992. When it opened, the Georgia Dome was the largest covered stadium in the world and featured the world's largest cable-supported fabric roof.

More than 1,400 events took place at the Georgia Dome in its short life span, bringing in 39 million guests.

It's been the home of the Falcons, Georgia State University football, the annual Peach Bowl and the Southeastern Conference Football Championship. It also temporarily was the home court for the NBA's Atlanta Hawks in the late 1990s while nearby Philips Arena was being built.

The stadium housed two Super Bowls. In 1994, the Buffalo Bills fell to the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl XXVIII, losing their fourth consecutive title game. Super Bowl XXXIV in 2000 had a dramatic finish, with Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kevin Dyson being tackled just short of the goal line to give the St. Louis Rams the victory.

One of the most iconic moments in US Olympic history took place at the Georgia Dome in 1996 when an injured Kerri Strug, later diagnosed with torn ligaments in her ankle, courageously nailed her second vault to help the American women win gymnastics team gold for the first time. The 1996 "Dream Team" won gold in men's basketball, while the American women's basketball team won gold as well.

The Georgia Dome hosted three NCAA men's Final Fours, with Maryland (2002), Florida (2007) and Louisville (2013) taking those national championships. It also was the host for the 2003 NCAA women's Final Four, with Connecticut winning the title.

Additionally, the history of the Georgia Dome is tied to two natural disasters. In January 2006, the Sugar Bowl -- usually held in New Orleans -- was moved to the Georgia Dome because of damage from Hurricane Katrina. The West Virginia Mountaineers stunned the Georgia Bulldogs 38-35.

On March 14, 2008, a men's college basketball game between Alabama and Mississippi State went into overtime, and it might have been a lifesaver for fans at the dome. A 3-point shot by Crimson Tide guard Mykal Riley forced the extra period, keeping spectators from heading toward the exits. A tornado hit downtown Atlanta a few minutes later. There was extensive damage in the area, including at the Georgia Dome, which forced that game and the rest of the SEC tournament to finish at Georgia Tech's Alexander Memorial Coliseum.

Final Falcons chapter

The Georgia Dome wasn't the original home for the Falcons -- the team played at the now-demolished Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium from 1966-1991 -- but it has seen the most success.

Atlanta had 10 winning seasons and reached the playoffs nine times at the Georgia Dome.

The NFL playoff history started in January 1999 when the Falcons defeated the San Francisco 49ers 20-18 in the divisional playoff round. Atlanta would go on to advance to its first Super Bowl, losing to the Denver Broncos.

Atlanta hosted the NFC Championship Game in 2013. But the home team missed out on reaching Super Bowl XLVII, with the Falcons losing to the 49ers, 28-24.

In January, the Falcons defeated the Green Bay Packers 44-21 to advance to Super Bowl LI, ending their tenure in the Georgia Dome with a historic win.

"For the fans, for this city and for the teams that rocked this place for 25 years, we felt your energy from the very beginning," Quinn said after the victory. "So it's only fitting, at the NFC Championship Game, the last game played here, we felt that, too."

Georgia Dome imploded with nearly 5,000 pounds of explosives.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
One of America's largest domed stadiums was imploded Monday morning as nearly 5,000 pounds of explosives blasted it to smithereens, sending massive plumes of smoke into the air.

The Georgia Dome, which opened in 1992, was flattened in 15 seconds at 7:30 am.

The 71,250-seat dome was the site of high school football state championships, Peach Bowls, SEC championship games, two Super Bowls, 1996 Olympic basketball, three Final Four NCAA basketball tournaments, concerts, pro wrestling and other events.

Now it has been replaced by the $1.6 billion Mercedes-Benz Stadium right next door.

Officials said it will take around three months to completely clear the demolished site. It will be cleaned up and repurposed into a talgating space for Mercedes-Benz Stadium that "will feature unique arts, entertainment and cultural experiences that will bring together local residents, as well as events honoring veterans and active members of the military."

A five-story tall industrial strength curtain was set up between the two stadiums to protect the new venue from damage, officials said. Only 83 feet ─ less than 30 yards ─ separates the two venues, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

The new stadium is home to the NFL's Atlanta Falcons, who were former tenants at the Georgia Dome, and Major League Soccer's Atlanta United.

In addition to the retractable roof that opens like a camera lens, Mercedes-Benz Stadium boasts a 1,100-foot "halo board" video display and a giant steel sculpture of a falcon with its 70-foot wingspan at one of the main entrances.
