Part of FC Twente stadium just collapsed

What's the latest on this, anyone have any idea? Looks pretty bad.

At the half 12 news bulletin on TS it said that a reported 5 people are trapped up to now. It also said it appears the supporting beams simply just collapsed, meaning it could have happened at anytime. Imagine if there was a game on? They are just reports as yet though.

Well they were working on it which would make you think the work has weakened the beams, maybe by the removal of other supporting structures

Two workers died, 12 injured. Praying for them.

Also been suggested that they'd possibly cut a few corners to get it done quickly.

Horrific.

Dear god, some bugger will get the curly finger for that, hope everybody gets out okay, makes you wonder, both Wembley and our Etihad Arena did shake quite a bit when we did the Poznan!!!!
