2 people were killed and another injured Wednesday by the collapse of a crane on the site of a Sao Paulo stadium that will host the opening game of next year’s World Cup, authorities said.

“The initial toll of three has been revised downward to two and one injured person was rushed to hospital,” a police spokesman told AFP.

Police said a crane fell on workers rushing to complete the Arena Corinthians stadium, where the opening World Cup match is to be held next June.

The world football’s governing body FIFA set a December 31 deadline for finishing the work.

The crane collapsed as it was lifting a 500-ton lattice structure to the top of the stands, bringing down three metal structures, Globo television reported.

The company overseeing the construction work immediately halted work and said it would investigate.

The stadium is one of 12 World Cup venues and Brazil has been struggling to overhaul sagging infrastructure in time for the games.

The reported 11 billion dollar cost of staging the event has aroused public protests.

Over Here Guys!; Mosanto Develops Revolutionary New Penis-Enlarging Corn Crop. (Must Read)

The multinational agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation, Monsanto, announced this morning, that they had genetically engineered a modified corn crop, designed to help men have larger penises and longer-lasting erections. The company’s scientists used genes from a number of plants to create this surprising species of transgenic corn, described as “more efficient than any penis-enlarging pill”. They notably used genetic material from a plant native to Indonesia and Malaysia, called Eurycoma Longifolia or Tongkat Ali , which is known for its ability to raise testosterone levels. They also used genes from watermelon, as its rind is a good natural source of citrulline, a dietary precursor which causes the penis to fill up nitric oxide. This relaxes the smooth muscle in blood vessels and erectile organs, augmenting the penis’ capacity for enlargement during erection. “Men will no longer have to pay hundreds of dollars to have larger penises” says Dr. Fi
