Rio Olympics
With 5 weeks to go, it seems that only one venue is actually complete, and most of the infrastructure projects still need to be finished. Brazil and Rio are both having financial problems and political crises. Workers are going fast to finish.
Last night I was looking at the pictures of unfinished temporary grandstands at the out door venues, open pits next to walkways with exposed utilities, and the unfinished subway and bus stations. (Can't find the article now. I'll keep looking.) I can't help but think even if everything does get finished, it will probably be rushed and unsafe. I hate to say it, but I think some spectators are likely to get seriously injured at the Rio Olympics.
