About this audio guide
This guide to Nubank Parque in São Paulo returns to the fifteenth of April 2013, when a section of scaffolding gave way as crews rushed to build a new tier of seats over the bones of the old Palestra Italia stadium. It follows the five construction workers on that section, the collapse of three support beams, and the paperwork that only ever authorized a renovation, not the new grandstand being welded onto the old skeleton. Rescue crews needed a crane and nearly four hours to reach the site.
