An ATM pops open in Atlanta, and the comments argue over a reward

The customer's story led a fifteen-upload week that also tracked Hurricane Isaias toward Georgia and a Southwest Atlanta apartment with holes in its floors.

ATM pops open, revealing money, customer says | WSB-TV

A customer went to an ATM for cash and, she says, got a look at a lot more of it than she asked for: the machine popped open in front of her. That short report, "ATM pops open, revealing money, customer says," passed 20,000 views within six hours, far ahead of anything else WSB-TV posted this week.

The comment section has its own ideas about how the story should end. The most common thread is whether the bank owes her something for her trouble, with suggestions ranging from a thank-you to a percentage. Others joke that the machine paid out a jackpot, a few wonder aloud where Allen Funt and his hidden camera were, and one viewer with some technical knowledge points out that the cash usually sits in locked cassettes behind the front panel, so an open door does not necessarily mean open money.

The rest of the week leaned toward the weather. Hurricane Isaias is headed for the Gulf Coast, and Gov. Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency for Georgia ahead of the storm's remnants, which are expected over metro Atlanta on Saturday and Sunday. Glenn Burns, now the station's chief meteorologist emeritus, gave his own update, and a Short on Douglas County preparing to open its emergency operations center is the upload gathering views fastest right now. Closer to home, renters in Southwest Atlanta, including Mark Thompson and Leon Nunnally, showed the holes opening up in their apartment floors while code enforcement looks into it.

All of that kept the channel running a little above its usual daily pace, with about 2.4 million views over the week and roughly 2,000 new subscribers. Among the local news stations closest to it in size, only NBCLA, which had a very large week, and Toronto's CP24 added more views.
