KYIV. February 2, UNN. The number of deaths from a dam that occurred in southeastern Brazil reached 115 people. Lieutenant-Colonel Flavio Godin, head of civil defense of the state of Minas Gerais, reported on Friday UNN making reference to the local TV channel Globo.
"The number of deaths (for the moment) is 115, with 71 of them installed," he told a news conference broadcast live on Globo TV. Previously, about 110 NP victims had been reported. Godin added that 248 people were still missing.
The dam that held back the waste from the metallurgical industry collapsed last Friday in the municipality of Brumadine, Minas Gerais. Residents of neighboring houses have been evacuated, several buildings have been destroyed by mudslides. The Brazilian mining company Vale, owner of the dam, has announced its intention to refuse the use of 10 similar structures for security reasons.
According to preliminary data, the large number of deaths as a result of the NP is due in part to the fact that the alarm sirens were not working. As President Vale Fabius Schwartzmann said last Thursday, fluid flows have spread at such a speed that they quickly cleared the devices in minutes.
The media posted videos (on the video link of various surveillance cameras transmitted to Brazilian media.), Which recorded the flow of dust resulting from the breakthrough of the dam in the state of Minas Gerais, in southeastern Brazil, Brazil.
