A video made public by Brazilian television shows the exact moment when a dam at Vale\u2019s  (NYSE:VALE) C\u00f3rrego do Feij\u00e3o mining complex burst and covered with mud neighbouring buildings in Brumadinho. <\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mining.com\/tragic-deja-vu-vales-dam-break-leaves-dozens-of-brazilians-under-mud\/\" rel=\"noopener\" >accident<\/a>, which took place on January 25, killed over 100 people and forced dozens out of their homes. Rescue teams say that about 260 people have been reported missing.<\/p>\n<p>C\u00f3rrego do Feij\u00e3o is located in the southeastern state of Minas Gerais and prior to the disaster, the closest town to the iron ore operation was said to have a population of 39,000 people.<\/p>\n<p>The dam contained tailings and it released a river of sludge. According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mining.com\/vale-says-alarms-didnt-go-off-time-brumadinho-due-speed-sludge\/\" rel=\"noopener\" >official information<\/a>, warning sirens were not immediately triggered. However, the company said that such response was normal given \u201cthe speed at which the event unfolded.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As the South American giant is dealing with this issue, another dam near Brumadinho has been <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mining.com\/vale-dam-collapse-panic-fresh-alert-another-mine-brumadinho\/\" rel=\"noopener\" >showing signs<\/a> of imminent rupture, something that is terrifying locals. <\/p>\n<p>This is not the first time that people see an accident of such magnitude in Minas Gerais. Back in 2015, a dam containing mine waste from iron pellets operation failed at BHP and Vale\u2019s joint venture Samarco. The incident killed 19 people and left a trail of destruction for hundreds of kilometres across different states.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mining.com\/video-shows-exact-moment-vales-dam-collapsed\/\">Video shows exact moment when Vale\u2019s dam collapsed<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mining.com\/\">MINING.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A video shows the exact moment when a dam at Vale&rsquo;s C&oacute;rrego do Feij&atilde;o mining complex burst.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mining.com\/video-shows-exact-moment-vales-dam-collapsed\/\">Video shows exact moment when Vale&rsquo;s dam collapsed<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mining.com\/\">MINING.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[1274,1334,404,369,440,703],"tags":[19,294,71],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1097836"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1097836"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1097836\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1098182,"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1097836\/revisions\/1098182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1097836"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1097836"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1097836"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
