Bento Rodrigues Mine Disaster.mov

On November 5, 2015 a dam holding 70 million cubic meters of waste mine material and water burst in the State of Minas Gerais Brazil. The toxic flood laid waste to the town of Bento Rodrigues just a few 100 meters down river. Some 19 people were killed. This video is a computer simulation of the dam break and flood.

Because building huge reservoirs of toxic water is a great idea, just as long as the rich get richer.

When the rich get richer the poor also get richer

[@AsTheWheelsTurn]

such a beautiful country and its being destroyed by toxic mining spills , deforestation and greed in general. what a waste.

AsTheWheelsTurn - and the mobile phone or computer you typed this on cane from thin air I suppose? Illiterate.

[@dlbstl]

Could you do a flood animation for the most recent Dam failure?

[@InfiniteUniverse88]

Remember remember the 5th of November! Brazil ought to make sure BHP pays the $53 billion they owe.

[@jestamora5464]

They want to destroy AZ too. How many shutdowns has there been with an abandoned mine sitting behind superior?Help the spaches save oak flat and az. The world is watching. Our heart hurts for bento Rodriguez. We send love and prayer.

It happened again.

[@bertlbarm4374]

the chepest way to get that all away and no one will pay for it you will see

[@robthom09]

@@bertlbarm4374 I was wondering about that too. If maybe they were not taking the containment seriously, or were just making an appearance.

[@raskacio9192]

Well then it will happen again, I hope this time they have removed the town from the course of the waters.

[@ehender2]

Lots of Tailing pond dams holding tailings in smaller quantities are located all over North America. They will all eventually fail. All are located near rivers big and small.

Depois teve Brumadinho e não vamos esquecer que essas empresas faziam parte do mensalão, tinham licenças irregulares e inspetores suburbanos pra nem olhar as represas. Todos podemos agradecer aos 16 anos de PT.

terrible disaster! scary mudslide that!

[@sluggou812beotch]

I live by a tailings pond. It is contained in a pit with a liner and no lives downstream.

[@robinwier]

Less than 20 fatalities? If true, a miracle of Biblical proportions.

[@kxc3966]

Robin Wier maybe but the poisoned fish and ground water will kill for decades. Toxicity in sea life for local fishermen. Free Cancer for everyone. Unpleasant miracle.

[@tardisnossa7510]

Robin Wier its not a miracle this is a small city. Where houses are exparsed with other. Its a interior city of farmers. But if this happenend in São Paulo city with the Billings Dam... Less 20 people died where live more than 10 millions of people... Its a real miraclous thing man.

[@rodricbr]

it was 19 peoples, but still, real miracle

it is so sad to see rio doce full of mud, and all fishes dead

how many more dams need to break? "only when the last tree has been cut, the last fish has been fished and the last river is poisoned, the white man will see that he can not eat money." old first nation's proverb.

it the government negligence too , as without proper oversight blinded by monetary value they leave the public unaware of the consequences that will happen.
