Worker dies in Russian sport stadium roof collapse
31 January 2020
A demolition worker has been killed when a sports complex roof collapsed prematurely in the Russian city of St Petersburg, officials say.
Dramatic drone footage shows the man with a blow torch cutting through metal supports at the SKK Peterburgskiy when the massive structure disintegrates.
He is seen trying to scramble to the safety of a cage suspended from a crane, but does not appear to make it.
The body of a 29-year-old man was found later in the rubble.
The man was one of four employees cutting metal cables to dismantle the roof of the sports and concert complex.
