The collapse of the giant statue: India urgently has to remove a 21-meter-high statue of Messi

The collapse of this colossal statue: India urgently removes a 21-meter-high statue of Messi In India, a massive 21-meter-high statue of Messi has been dismantled. The statue starts to sway in the wind and begins to collapse.

The statue was erected in Calcutta in December, in honor of Messi’s visit there. Such a large-scale monument hadn’t been seen before in the history of any footballer’s statue. A team of 45 people worked on the construction for almost a month.

However, this ambitious project faced serious engineering challenges. Within a year, engineers noticed critical problems with the structure. The statue began to sway dangerously even in moderate winds, posing a threat to both residents and tourists.

The authorities decided to dismantle the statue immediately. Now, the city administration is looking for an alternative location for the statue. But the fate of this 21-meter-high statue remains uncertain. This case serves as a warning for all those who plan to erect such monuments. To perpetuate sports legends requires careful planning, not just fanatic enthusiasm.
