A week after a mining dam collapsed in the Minas Gerais state of Brazil, resulting in the death of at least 110 people and left 238 people missing, a dramatic video which shows the exact moment when the dam collapsed has been released. The video, obtained by local TV channel Bandeirantes, shows the terrifying moment when the muddy slush flowed out after the dam collapse and swept over the mining company’s canteen and neighbouring buildings in Brumadinho.
The dam collapsed at an iron ore mine, owned by Vale SA, on January 25. In the stunning video, cars and vehicles can be seen desperately trying to leave the spot as a massive river of slush rushes towards them. The deadly collapse of the dam left a trail of destruction that spread over an area almost equal to more than 100 football pitches, BBCreported.
