It wasn't just a drop through a hole -- there were people under it.

At Telstra Dome, a new and large stadium in Melbourne, supporters at Melbourne Victory games have been ordered not to stand during the game on an upper levels because of fears over its structural integrity. If that can happen at a multi-million dollar new stadium, I'm not surprised to see it happening at a relatively minor stadium in Brazil.

I'm not sure whether to cheer your lack of respect for Bahia or chastise you for your lack of respect for Brazil.

It's not a minor stadium, the stadium is old though and was packed (more than 60k people).

Just in case you can't make out the massive hole, they've put a ring around it.
