Adults should be more wise and experienced.

Date: 07/03/21 15:44 Re: After two year, the locomotive was found buried (Brazil) Author: pedrop Well, in general Vale will pay R$ 1 000 000 (one milion reais - about U$ 200,000) for each people died, but many family did not agree with the amount and are asking for more. In fact, the amount is too low for a rich company like Vale, specially if we consider that the company knows the risk of the collapse of the dam. Two year before, another dam collapsed in Mariana MG killing 28 people.
