Blue Stars Bearette 1 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 everything in a state so it seems. Don't see the point in these games any more to be honestCommonwealth Games 2010 in crisis as 19 injured in stadium foot bridge collapseAt least 19 people have been injured after a foot bridge collapsed near the main Commonwealth Games stadium in Delhi as fears grow that the event may be called off amid concerns over security, accommodation and competitor safety. Preparations for the Oct 3-14 Games are descending into chaos with construction work still going on, while police have now reported the collapse of a pedestrian bridge leading to one of the main entrances to the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium. The 100 metres long bridge was being constructed in order to provide better access to the stadium from a car park. According to officials the bridge collapsed when labourers were in the process of applying a concrete layer to the structure. "We have reports of 19 people injured after the entire bridge near gate number three of the stadium collapsed," a police spokesman said. Team leaders from England, Scotland, Wales, New Zealand, Australia and Canada have all expressed "grave concerns" over the housing for the 6,500 team members and said some was "unsafe and unfit for human habitation".http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/commonwealthgames/8015639/Commonwealth-Games-2010-stadium-foot-bridge-collapse-injures-19.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebooler 4,509 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 A few of my friends are supposed to be competing and they're not looking forward to it at all.India is incapable of hosting such an event, as they have now shown.Countries like this are given the event in order to save accusations of prejudice against them. The usual PC Brigade shite.I say, fuck them. Hold these major events where they should be held. In countries with the proper facilities, infrastructure, hygiene, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mongolikecandy 418 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I will be in Delhi in three weeks time albeit briefly, not my favourite destination . In a country where over 80percent live on 1 dollar a day how the fuck can they justify have a space programme costing billions. Any Indian to a man I have met are honest and helpful but are held back by a caste system and a government more interested in vanity projects than looking after it's people Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
