A massive statue of soccer legend Lionel Messi, erected in a small town in India, has been removed due to safety concerns. The 55-foot-tall bronze statue, which was unveiled in a grand ceremony earlier this year, was meant to be a tribute to the Argentine football icon. However, local authorities have now taken down the structure citing fears that it could collapse and harm passersby. The decision has raised questions about the planning and execution of the project, which was reportedly funded by a local businessman.
