The roof of one of the stands at FC Twente's Grolsch Veste stadium has collapsed, trapping construction workers. I've seen a couple of pictures and it looks quite bad. I hope nobody has been killed.

Do I really need to say it again? When i linked to that story, nobody had been rescued from the wreckage yet. Later a body and the injured were recovered. The story on that page was updated after I linked. Not that hard to understand is it?

well i can vouch for saxon ... i followed the link and read the story soon after it was posted and before anyone had replied and at that time the rescue services had not yet been able to get into the damaged stand, so no one knew at that time how many workers were trapped or whether any of them had been injured
