British man dies building Qatar World Cup stadium

[ClaretAndJew]

Sad news all round, for anyone who loses their life.

Is there a safety issue here? Is it all majorly dodgy?

And yes, I know that 1000+ people have already died in similar circumstances in Qatar. It's sad when anyone dies.

I can only hope his nationality highlights the issue and Qatar is held accountable to pay decent compensation to the families of the victims on equal footing, regardless of nationality

[ClaretAndJew]

I'm not batting off the other people who have lost their lives in this time, I'm just merely trying to refrain this from becoming a "but look at all those other people who have died" contest between posters.

It's all equally and terribly sad.

You're all assuming that he's fallen from a height or some other H+S failure. Maybe he just had a heart attack because he smokes 40 a day?

[Sidney1st]

The health and safety over there is horrendous isn't it?

Plus they work people really hard I've read somewhere.

Nothing dodgy about the 2022 World Cup. Nothing at all.
