So with the 2014 FIFA World Cup just over
six months time, the push is on to get all of the stadiums built and ready for
use. In saddening news today a worker on the Manaus Stadium has died, the
worked fell nearly 35 meters after a cable has broke.
This is for sure going to raise questions
about how safe the construction is within the constructions, are things being
over looked and safety not up to standards?
The demands that countries that take on the
World Cup or Olympics face are very high, the need to make their games much
bigger and spectacular than the last one. Is it going to far with many
countries spending billions and billions to create new stadiums, and pushing
works over the edge. Yes its great for
the country that does host as they can world coverage, and if a good games is
held, they receive great reviews, therefore looked upon as a great nation.
The countries do though need to make sure
that everything that is built for the spectacles is done safely and if possible
with no casualties. It need to be built to a standard that is safe, that is
safe to be used by the thousands of fans that will be travelling there to watch
the sporting events.
