It's amazing that only one person was killed and lucky there wasn't a match on at the time... That looks horrific.

Bloody hell!
What's that stands capacity? 3-5000? That would have been a lot of squished dutchmen.

I would have thought that it collapsed as a result of the work they were doing, a support breaking or something? Or did it just randomly collapse with no other influence?

Yeah I can only presume it was a result of the ongoing work, maybe they temporarily removed a few supports or overloaded the current ones and it just buckled.
Whatever the fault it's a good thing it happened now rather than in the middle of a match, that would have been truly horrific.

Two dead now. One at the scene and one later on in hospital.
The BBC article says that local media are suggesting a crane had driven into the stand.I would have thought that it collapsed as a result of the work they were doing, a support breaking or something? Or did it just randomly collapse with no other influence?
