According to <em>The Daily Telegraph</em>, over 100 spectators watching a race were injured in Brazil when a section of bleachers collapsed. Around 500 spectators were observing at a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/drag%20race">drag race</a> in the Brazilian city of Quatro Pontes when the structure gave way. Six people were immediately taken to the hospital as a result of injuries sustained in the incident, and two of those are still in critical condition.<br />
