Brumadinho Environmental Crime Water Sampling in Brazil
Juatuba (Minas Gerais state) resident with water sample, standing on bridge over the Paraopeba River.
On January 25th, a tailing dam from an iron ore mine from Vale, a Brazilian mining company, collapsed, flooding with almost 13 million m³ of toxic mud the district of Córrego do Feijão, in the city of Brumadinho, in Minas Gerais state. Authorities search for survivors amongst the havoc.
This environmental crime takes place a little over three years after the dam collapse in the city of Mariana, also in Minas Gerais state, controlled by Vale and British-Australian BHP.
The toxic mud wave travels through Minas Gerais state with the Paraopeba River.

No dia 25 de janeiro, uma barragem de rejeitos minerais de ferro da empresa Vale rompeu, inundando com quase 13 milhões de m³ de lama tóxica o distrito de Córrego do Feijão, em Brumadinho, Minas Gerais. Autoridades procuram por sobreviventes e vítimas em meio à destruição.
Este crime ambiental acontece pouco mais de três anos após a ruptura da barragem em Mariana, Minas Gerais, controlada pela Vale e pela anglo-australiana BHP.
