\"World-Cup-Stadium-Collapse-Brazil\"<\/a><\/h1>\n

Brazil is holding three days of national mourning for the two construction workers killed at a World Cup stadium that will now be completed up to two months late.<\/h1>\n

The pair died when a crane at the Corinthians Arena in Sao Paulo collapsed as it was hoisting a 500-tonne structure.<\/p>\n

It damaged the outer walls of the 70,000-seater venue – popularly known as the Itaquerao – and a giant LED screen.<\/p>\n

Work on the stadium, which is due to stage the opening World Cup fixture, was due to be finished by December 31.<\/p>\n

The competition’s organisers Fifa say they expect a delay of between 45 and 60 days.<\/p>\n

Fifa, football’s world governing body, had originally set December 31 as the deadline for the completion of all the stadiums for next summer’s tournament.<\/p>\n

The latest delay will increase worries over whether Brazil will be fully prepared for the June 12 kick-off.<\/p>\n

Six venues have already been declared ready but there are concerns about three others in Cuiaba, Manaus and Curitiba.<\/p>\n

Bosses at the Corinthians Arena said the “structure of the grandstand was not compromised” by the crane accident and that work will resume on Monday.<\/p>\n

Andres Sanchez, operations director, said the two construction workers were crushed to death.<\/p>\n

They have been named as Ronaldo Oliveira dos Santos, 44, a fitter, and driver Fabio Luiz Pereira, 42, who was inside his truck when it was hit by the falling structure.<\/p>\n

Most of the 1,700 workers at the site were on lunch break when the crane toppled over.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Corinthians said it was the 38th time the crane had performed the procedure and that a similar structure had been successfully installed a week ago.<\/p>\n

The crane, which has a reach of 114 metres, can lift up to 1,500 tonnes.<\/p>\n

Investigators are looking into the reason for the collapse.<\/p>\n

Fifa said the safety of workers was a “top priority”, while the organisation’s president, Sepp Blatter, said he was “deeply saddened by the tragic death of workers”.<\/p>\n

The incident is by no means the first to hit Brazil’s World Cup preparations. One worker died last year during construction of a stadium in the capital, Brasilia, and another was killed at the Manaus stadium last March.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
