Trivia

  • The time limit does not start until the first explosive charge is placed, so the player has the opportunity to explore the abandoned subway.
  • There is a glitch in the game where before and after the mission is complete, part of the tunnel can be explored if the player can jump onto the ledge that is across from the subway platform. From there, the player must travel left until they fall through, falling into Blue Hell and eventually into the tunnel appearing in the mission. Note that only the entrance of the tunnel can be explored as the rest of the abandoned subway doesn't appear to be there, the only thing that is there is Blue Hell and a few objects that were in the mission.
  • The Forelli Family goons will not follow you once you enter the uncompleted tunnel and the old subway. You are now free to roam around it or plant the bombs at your leisure.
  • In a news report on LCFR it is stated that Forelli Family was seen entering the tunnel, suggesting that they have been blamed for the explosion due to their munitions storage.
  • The mission name is a reference to the film Bringing Down the House.
  • The mission is scripted to make Blue Hell solid. This can be found out with cheat devices during the mission. Use Step Through Wall to go through the old subway wall and keep on heading anywhere and you won't fall.
  • This is one of the few storyline missions in the entire GTA series that forces the player to kill innocent people.
  • During the destruction cutscene, you can hear a Molotov Cocktail explosion in the middle of the cutscene.
  • In the aftermath of the bombing, the district is cordoned off as no traffic or pedestrian will venture into the district. Instead, firefighters (and a parked Fire Truck) and military personnel are present to survey the destruction.
  • A unique pure red Rumpo can be obtained in this mission. It appears a brighter red colour than most that spawn. It can be driven out when the final charge is set and can be placed in any garage and it won't disappear.
