In comparable projects, the London Olympics in 2012 had 0 construction deaths associated and in more recent years, even the highest recorded count was 74 in Sochi, Russia.
I can't imagine that many people dying on an engineering project anywhere else in Europe, unless perhaps there was a major incident like a tunnel collapse. But that would be headline news around the world.
As I understand the GP, the point is that during the construction of the any sporting facilities, some workers will have died but it won't have been directly related to the work they did.
In Qatar, that number is >6500. In the UK, we don't know the number.
Yeah, I was going to say; any construction deaths are frontpage news here. 6500 for a country the size of a shoe is insane, directly related to the the worldcup or not.
