Over 900 workers/slaves dead building the Qatar world cup stadiums

http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/over-900-workers-have-already-died-building-qatars-world-cup-facilities-180950088/?no-ist

And that number is expected to rise to 4000 people.

Why is the world cup gonna be held in this filthy hell hole? What the hell is wrong with fifa?

On the other hand the number of people who have died building One World Trade center is ZERO.

In a civilised modern first world society the safety of the work force is top priority, unlike that arabian hell hole.

I think the worst part of that article is the way it says 'Only X workers died during Y construction'... I mean wtf? No one should be dying during a construction of something.

FIFA is corrupt. Qatar should never have been awarded the World Cup. Disgusting.

It's incomprehensible, blatant bribery and corruption led to Qatar being given the world cup and they are killing off foreign workers willy nilly to build the infrastructure that they don't have and will never need again.

Why is it yet to be boycotted?

I don't understand. How could they possibly be slaves if it was Arabs being the slavers and not white people? I thought only whites could do wrong.

Looks like the Arab slave trade didn't die after all.

Though I do wonder how many posts in this thread before somebody somehow blames Jooz for this.

As long as The Would Cup goes ahead, no one will really give a toss.

South Asians are treated like slaves in the middle East, and have done so for years.
