THIS is the terrifying moment thousands of football fans headed towards an iconic World Cup stadium, causing a staircase to seemingly wobble dangerously.
Some of the 74,000 fans who attended Argentina's clash with Bosnia and Herzegovina were filmed using the temporary structure.
As they made their way to the match, the staircase began to shake significantly from side-to-side.
Some supporters can even be seen glancing nervously over the side of railings to the ground below.
No incident was reported before or after the match, which Argentina won 2-1 thanks to a Lionel Messi wonder-goal.

A further six matches are due to be held at the Maracana during the month-long tournament.
As well as the final and a quarter-final, Spain's clash with Chile tomorrow night will also be played at the famous venue.
The Maracana underwent a major reconstruction ahead of the World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics.
Although the work was completed before last year's Confederations Cup, Brazilian organisers faced a race against time to complete a number of other World Cup venues and installations such as fan parks.
