                       Stadium Collapse Kills 2 in Brazil

   by VOA News

   Two workers were killed when a crane collapsed Wednesday at the stadium
   slated to host the opening match of next year's World Cup of soccer in
   Brazil, casting yet another shadow on the country's preparations.

   Construction workers had been racing to finish the stadium in São
   Paulo, Brazil's biggest city, prior to a December deadline imposed by
   world soccer body FIFA.

   Brazil's preparations to host the event have been plagued by delays,
   accidents, cost overruns, and public anger over government waste that
   contributed to massive nationwide street protests last year.

   FIFA set a strict December 31 deadline for completing all 12 host
   venues amid fears Brazil will struggle to be totally ready.
