MYSTERY surrounds a loud explosion at the venue set to host the Olympic opening ceremony.
Host broadcaster Channel 7 revealed that a loud explosion had been heard in the famous Maracana Stadium early Sunday evening soon after a robot had been sent in following the detection of a suspicious package.
There were unconfirmed rumours the package was a tool box.
“There was definitely an explosion after the robot want in,’’ a Channel Seven spokesman said.
“We are trying to confirm whether the explosion was the robot destroying the package or the package went off before the robot go to it.’’
The Maracana Stadium, which hosted the 1950 World Cup soccer final, will host the Olympic opening and closing ceremonies.
