Beijing National Stadium, known as the "bird's nest"

The Beijing National Stadium, known as the "bird's nest", stands in Beijing, China, on January 5, 2008. Beijing Olympic organizers reluctantly admitted that six workers have been killed during the construction of Olympic venues in the past three years. This reversal followed a first denial that at least 10 laborers have died while working to build the 91,000-seat National Stadium. Known as the "Bird's Nest," the iconic venue will host the opening and closing ceremonies and is sure to become the architectural symbol of the August 8-24 Olympics.
