Part of the Arena Corinthians, future site of the World Cup opening ceremony in June 2014, has collapsed, reportedly killing three. The stadium, located in Sao Paulo, Brazil, was still under construction with a set completion date of December, and the BBC reports that a crane collapsed onto the structure, breaking off part of the stands as seen in this photograph from the Futebolnopronto Twitter account. More photographs show the crane dangling over the edge of the stands and what may be fire trucks that were called to the scene after the collapse. Emergency crews are still checking for more possible victims, and construction company Odebrecht has said it's investigating what caused the collapse.
