Micky Posted 7 July, 2011 Share Posted 7 July, 2011 I think it happened as the stadium was undergoing some sort of contstruction / upgrading. Looks like the whole of the stand roof callapsed: http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/World-News/Football-Stadium-Collapses-Trapping-People-In-Wreckage-In-Netherlands-Roof-Of-FC-Twente-Caves-In/Article/201107116025986?lpos=World_News_First_Home_Article_Teaser_Region_0&lid=ARTICLE_16025986_Football_Stadium_Collapses_Trapping_People_In_Wreckage_In_Netherlands%2C_Roof_Of_FC_Twente_Caves_In Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al de Man Posted 7 July, 2011 Share Posted 7 July, 2011 Pretty horrifying sight. Oh dear! Good job this didn't happen when the stadium was full. It probably only collapsed because they were working on it at the time rather than a "natural" failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgiesaint Posted 7 July, 2011 Share Posted 7 July, 2011 One person has been killed according to one of the Dutch newspapers I read this afternoon, one initial report (still to be confirmed) was that a crane hitting the roof structure was the cause. Some of the photo's do show a crane very close, but again just initial speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
