Are they covering their mouths like those bitchy krauts?!?
Fuck them, then!


Seriously, can anyone who has ever had anything to do with construction projects fathom something as simple as building a stadium resulting in even 6 fatalities in a country with any sort of respect?
I'd estimate <65 would be killed in a similar project in China.
650 is unfathomable and 6,500 is an act of war.

C'mon bro, be fair, it is more than one stadium, don't be dramatic.

Most of them are considered natural death. But it's about working under 40c without access to water/cooling.

Then there's the shanty town called the "Industrial district" that the workers are put into.

Most also probably didn't have any construction experience or even think that was the type of work they'd be doing when they agreed to go and had their passports confiscated.
