I'd say this is more sabotage and terro.

Just a training exercise....

A Rio-based correspondent for the Wall Street Journal, Paul Kiernan, said authorities had confirmed the detonation was a training drill. 'Explosion today at Rio's Maracana stadium was a training exercise, fire department says,' he tweeted. Another journalist dismissed initial reports the explosion occurred inside the stadium.

I'm sure Rio hired only the best private security ... GS4. We all know they only hire the best, most stable employees.

G4S, security company belonging to the spouse of the Wicked Witch of Westminster, the one that she was giving all the fat prison contracts to when she was privatising jails. I'm sure now she's PM she'll have lots more ways to look out for her own once more...

Actually, GS4 isn't and never has 'belonged' to the husband of Theresa May, it's a total urban myth pedalled on the internet and has seen more than one ATS member wrap themselves in knots trying to prove with absolutely no success, but God loves a trier I suppose.

And they just hired security? Should t that have been in place over a year ago?

They had hired a security firm who turned out to be worse than useless, not to mention only hiring a fraction of the staff they were being paid to hire (and presumably pocketing the difference).

That firm has now been kicked out and a new security firm hired.

But just damn. Eat the losses NBC and Olympic Committee types and bail while you can.

I agree. Cancel this mess before hundreds die.

Frankly, I'd cancel the Olympics forever. Its just games for the elites anyway. A total waste of money.

Cheers for the info, I read about it online a while ago, if we fact checked everything we read on the internet we'd never do anything else. So I appreciate when someone helps out, a less smart ass fashion would have been more appreciated of course...

I apologise if you thought I was being rude, but then if you read your post that I responded to, it wasn't without its own level of smart ass attitude - I responded in kind, though you would appreciate.

They need to cancell this sh@t before it get's out of hand..what a farce.

My attitude was directed at Darth May, not the person who mentioned G4S.

I knew tensions were gonna be high during the Olympics but I really hope it goes off without any incident...

they are telling all the swimmers to keep their heads above the water....some guy threw up on an athelete while his accomplice stole the athletes bags during the distraction.

the police have been at the airport holding a huge banner that says "we cannot protect you"

part of the "opening ceremony will consist of Gisele bunchion being "robbed" I kid you not!!!!

there was a special about this olympics on HBO this past month...also included the winter olympics in Russia and talked about the summer Olympic in Bejing and how they will have the winter Olympics in Bejing (several years down the road).....they will TOTALLY have to mass produce all the snow ( there is no snowy winter there)....

You don't think 'Darth May' or 'wicked witch of Westminster' are smart ass comments? I'd agree they aren't particularly smart, but there we go.

The only times the Olympics have been canceled were WW1 and WW2.
The ZIKA virus bombe may or may not prevent some from attending but I doubt the games will be canceled.
We will keep the thread open for now.

they have to temporarily quarantine each horse that is arriving for the equestrian events, to make sure they don't have that horse disease...that has been going around there, it is not treatable at ll and deadly.

runners have been advised...no running outside at night ,too dangerous

This whole olympics is a disaster waiting to happen. Floating feces making swimmers sick, a severed foot washing up on shore at the volleyball venue, now this. Just scrap this year, and the whole olympic committee, and start over.

You forgot the Zika Virus rampaging around the entire country, that's going to ruin futures a lot more than a turd or two floating about in a pool.
