Men at heavy work

Day -632. WorldCup2018

I always love a story in a headline, or a headline to a story that tells the story. When I say "love" I mean think it's pretty funny, as though the writer couldn't think of a title after writing the story so he or she just wrote another sentence and put it at the top. Probably like I've done a few times.

The Welcome Russia 2018 tourist portal has a great example of one of these:
"Workers assembled a giant crane to help build a 2018 World Cup stadium"

No prizes for guessing what this story is about. Well, they're building a stadium over there in Russia for that World Cup thingy and they needed a big crane so some men built the crane....to build the stadium...in Russia...for the World Cup.

I still wonder how that sort of information is of any use to any tourist visiting Russia for the World Cup. Architectural tourism maybe.
