People are already dropping for the event as 3 are dead due to collapse of a crane.
The World Cup is in less than six months, and Brazil is reportedly still behind on construction. Work on the Arena Corinthians, where the collapse took place, was actually almost completed at the time of the accident, and some workers were already celebrating.
Working conditions were reported as dismal in South Africa last cycle, and ridiculously underpaid workers—some of whom were making as little as $5 a week—went on strike prior to the 2010 World Cup. We've heard about brutal conditions in Russia for migrant workers ahead of the upcoming Winter Olympics, and already in Qatar, hundreds of modern-day slaves have died preparing for their World Cup, still eight and a half years away.
