The preparations for the Brazilian World Cup continue to be marred by accidents and tragedies. Following the devastating incident at the Arena Corinthians stadium last November, where two workers lost their lives, another worker has been seriously injured during construction work at the Arena Amazonia.
Antonio José Pita Martins, aged 55, was involved in dismantling a crane when a piece of metal fell on him, striking him forcefully in the head. He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, teetering between life and death.
This latest incident adds to the growing concerns surrounding the safety standards and working conditions at the World Cup construction sites in Brazil. It underscores the urgent need for authorities to address these issues and ensure the well-being of all workers involved in the preparation for the upcoming tournament.
