Se les ha caído encima una estructura metálica desde una altura de 10 metros.- Uno de los heridos está grave y otro leve
F. JAVIER BARROSO - Madrid - 29/06/2007
Dos obreros ha fallecido y otros dos han resultado heridos, uno de gravedad y otro leve, en un accidente laboral registrado esta mañana en el estadio Vicente Calderón. Los cuatro operarios se encontraban desmontando el escenario de los Rolling Stones, que actuaron anoche, cuando se les ha venido encima una estructura metálica desde una altura de 10 metros.
El accidente se ha producido sobre las 13.00 horas cuando, por razones que se desnonocen, los obreros se han visto sorprendidos por la caída de una estructura metálica de grandes dimensiones desde una altura de 10 metros.
El desmontaje del gigantesco escenario del Calderón requiere tres días y lo transportan 42 camiones, informa Isabel Lafont. Lo forman una parte central flanqueada por dos torres de luces en forma de espiral, de 30 metros de alto, 100 de ancho y otros 30 de profundidad. Además, hay una pasarela de 44 metros para que Mick Jagger y a los suyos llegarran hasta el mismísimo centro del césped del estadio en los momentos clave de su actuación.
En total, 115 personas viajan con los Stones. A ellos se suma, en cada lugar donde se celebra un concierto, otro centenar de trabajadores locales, contratados a través de la compañía promotora en cada país.

Actually, I was thinking those shows look fairly crowded compared to what we in the USA saw last year. I guess we'll have to wait for eyewitness reports from Gazza & GRTM.

I am so glad they are still playing I don't care what the hell whatever they want to play its all extra credit at this point
Agree! Why everybody are always complaining that the stones aren't in best shape or they had a bad show! You gotta enjoy while it lasts.

the difference between the crowd about 9.45 and 10.15 pm when the Stones came on was unbelievable. The grandstands looked about 80% EMPTY at first and then looked pretty well populated by show time. The Spaniards seem to like turning up late.
It was chaotic outside, one queue for entry to the pitch through one gate when they were meant to have about six open. Oddly enough, it was easy to get out of the stadium afterwards, unlike Lisbon which took AGES to clear and was a disaster waiting to happen.

Trust me, Ronnie is doing more than merely playing. Utterly fabulous in both Lisbon and Madrid. He's had a new lease of life of late.

We arrived in Dublin about 8.30 pm or so. She's staying there overnight and flying home tomorrow.
Her fifth flight in a week. What a trooper. She did great (and can hold her drink with the best of them - the whisky measures over there are huge!) but if she's any sense, she'll sleep for about a week when she gets home. She's a riot to hang out with, and got on great with everyone, considering she'd met none of us before.

She is a pure gem.
Trust me.
She WILL sleep.
This has been the trip of a lifetime for her and, I, for one, am so happy for her.
She represented the US well.
