Explosives fail to shift stubborn stand at Brasilia’s Garrincha Stadium.
Brasilia’s World Cup stadium, named after World Cup-winning star Garrincha, proved too tough even for dynamite on Sunday during construction work on the arena being used for the 2014 tournament.
The Globo newspaper website reported that 250kg of explosives proved incapable of demolishing the stands and that further attempts would be made later in the day.
