Dutch hurt in FC Twente stadium roof fall in Enschede

Complete collapse

The stadium roof at this Dutch football club just collapsed like a house of cards. 12 people have been injured apparently. But it could have been a lot worse. As no match was on the injured would probably have been visitors or construction workers. A full house is 32,000 fans. Another lucky escape for those who could have been there.

Football stadiums need improving and renewing. But do they need to be used whilst the work goes on? Something must have gone very wrong for this to have happened. No doubt an inquiry will get to the bottom of it.
