Brazilian organizers are adding safety features where a worker died in the stadium hosting the World Cup opener, hoping to quickly reverse an order that halted construction in part of the venue. The addition of new safety rails comes a day after labor officials said the installation of 20,000 temporary seats at the Itaquerao stadium could not continue until safety concerns were addressed. On Saturday March 29th, 2014, a 23-year-old worker died after falling from about 26 feet while installing the seats needed for the opener. (AP Photo / Andre Penner, File)
