Explosion at Wembley Stadium??
Channel 10 news just did a very brief bit about an explosion at Wembley Stadium [unless Deb just dreamed the whole thing up] What's the deal? No items on Google news here yet.

The Wembley stadium site was evacuated after a 50-tonne steel rafter slipped 1.6ft, creating an "enormous bang".
About 3,500 workers were cleared from the site of the £757m project, already behind schedule, just before 0900 GMT.
The rafter was being welded in place at the time but the roof was not damaged, said builders Multiplex. Most staff are expected to go back to work on Tuesday.
I think it's bloody fantastic that an Aussie company has been chosen to build a replacement for England's most famous football stadium.
Just think of all that British money rolling into Australia, oh yes...

I also read somewhere that Multiplex was making abig loss on the job, and if they don,t finish on time they will suffer a even bigger loss

Not quite sure how all the money from the stadium is rolling into Oz, the last set of figures released showed a loss of £106m on the project.

The FA is paying a total of £757m for the new stadium; I hope for their sake that they get their money's worth!
