Author: pedrop

Today afternoon a Vale mining dam broke in Brumadinho, MG and caused great damage around. An ore train was hit also. At this time, we do not have news of people affected.

The news say at least 500 to 600 Vale employees could be died in the mud sea. But noboby are sure about at this time. All office, buildings and restaurants in the mine site were destroyed at the lunch time.
