At least seven people have been killed and about 200 others have gone missing in southeast Brazil after a tailings dam collapsed at an iron ore mine.
Seven bodies had been recovered by nightfall, said Avimar de Melo Barcelos, the mayor of the town of Brumadinho where the dam burst in the mining-heavy state of Minas Gerais.
Al Jazeera’s Daniel Schweimler reports from Buenos Aires, in neighbouring Argentina.

The new President is a bad omen…
@Jeff Ahbb ” Demarcação pros Índios JÁ”
@Adriana Bonita Aziz Nós precisamos sim de educação já que os governos do PT destruiu a moral e a cultura do Brasileiro, mas nos também precisamos urgentemente de leis pesadas e do direito de defesa já que o maldito governo socialista parece que descriminalizou o crime e os direitos humanos só defende bandido. Se você não mora no Brasil é melhor você ficar calado e aprender mais.
@Adriana Bonita Aziz E esse negócio de demarcação de terras para os índios é papo furado, os países baixos é apenas um punhado de terra em comparação com a quantidade de terras que os indígenas já possuem e a população deles não chega a 1/4 da população dos países baixos. O que vocês socialistas querem é criar vários povos no Brasil e desfragmentar nossa enorme e bela nação.
@Adriana Bonita Aziz nós precisamos pagar nossas dívidas, não temos dinheiro pra wellfare
Nosense what you’re saying. New president have not fault
It’s Bolsonero!!!
@Cool Breeze he will help with support to this place and families. Even Israel will help.
No this is because PT was in power for 13 years.
@OTTO MKHATSHWA I really hope this is a joke.
@AL ROD unfortunately others don’t realize that.
Bolsonaro Caraí
Yay capitalism! Bet the mining corporation saved a few bucks
Nasser Derakhshan Who funds new invention and innovation in science and technology to make it available in the global market?
Josué Nery If there is a law, or a legislation that force a socialist system, it is socialism. But politicians csn have a fancy words defining it. Whether the intention was meant for common good or few groups of people and organizations.
alts rodrighes Not the people of Brazil but the government and its institutions.
@gh0st pqp…..
>PT
>Socialismo
Pick one
@pokb não sei se você sabe mas ideologias q pregam uma igualdade social ou financeira(utopia), são de viés de esquerda, estude mais assim não passa vergonha.

It’s Brazil, not India.
Worthless
1972 Buffalo Creek, Dam Collapse(West Virginia) @The Buffalo Creek flood was a disaster that occurred on February 26, 1972, when the Pittston Coal Company’s coal slurry impoundment dam #3, located on a hillside in Logan County, West Virginia, burst, four days after having been declared “satisfactory” by a federal mine inspector.[1]

R.I.P. …
@Baby Sama 48 why ?
@Kanal 7
It’s offensive and stupid
There is a saying God wrath strikes silently
When some misfortune will get you then u will realise your folly .
@Baby Sama 48 Allah SWT is Satan and Muhammad SWT is his advocate.
Al Jazeera such a comunist tv! You’d should put the credits and Copyright informations about the air imagens from Record TV! I’ll report to YouTubr
kkk cala boca
😂😂😂
They are neither communist or capitalist. They are funded by Qatari government to propogate Qatari monarch foreign policies.
@CamelPiss Drinker Nabi Muhammad They cover and analyze the world (excluding Qatar monarchy and probably Qatar). Surprisingly free press for an Arab country. Not entirely independent but overall better than other media as they don’t have overriding ideology. For example, CNN is pro Democratic party. Fox is pro Republican. TRT is pro Turkish government. Press TV is pro Ayatollah. RT is pro Putin. Zee TV is pro BJP.
@Syed Ahmed Qatari channel aljazeera shouldn’t talk about democracy in other countries..if you want to, then first you should make your own country a secular liberal democracy moving away from monarchy.
Hello how are you
This is what happens when you sell your country to Capitalism.
We are a Welfare state without money to do Well. We need economic freedom to growth
Brasil una gran potencia en Sudamérica,muy lindo país con mucha industria.Bravo
PilotVBall It’s easy to criticize capitalism when you’re not living in a socialist country.
Man, Brazil is not Captalism, just shut up….
And is really easy to talk about that when u are in the perfect America! Put yourself in our place!
Why blur the brazilian tv logos ?
TV Record.
Tragédia anunciada….
M
Prayers for those involved in this disaster. May God bring you peace in these trying times.
So why didn’t god protect the people? Thanks in advance.
@Nemo me I ask that too… but probally we will never have the true answer.
@Henrique Rothbardian Try these. God is disgusting or there is no god.
Same thing happened to Laos a few months back. Countries around the world needs to review their dams
IS MINAS GERAIS E DON’T IS MINAS GERIAS
@Filipe Severo e mais uma coisinha, *E* em inglês é *And*
o Único motivo deles pra falar Minas Gerias, é porquê na hora de falar o *I* é “Ai” ent fica GerAIs, já o E fica “I” mas mesmo sendo pronunciado como I o certo é falar Gerais, ent praticamente fica “Guerais” pra eles é mais fácil escrever Gerias por causa do sotaque deles, exemplo: na china eles não tem R ent eles falam Flango e não Frango, no Brasil nós temos dificuldade de falar algumas palavras com W ou Th em algumas regiões sendo quase a maioria, ent enquanto puder facilitar as palavras, elas serão mudadas, espero ter ajudado ;)!
Tenho quase certeza disso pois eu não faço curso de inglês atoa né ksksks
@Pablo Henrique Mudar palavras é uma coisa agora escrever errado é outra. O canal arabe escreveu errado. Até por que não existe gerias como sitado no gráfico da matéria.
@Filipe Severo É “citado” e não “sitado”. Aprenda o português primeiro, pra depois aprender o inglês! A propósito, toda essa conversa sobre como se escreve, não me importa, pois estou preocupada com a situação das vítimas. Eu só te respondi isso pela sua soberba.
vai todo mundo tomar no cu aí.
It will get worse under this president.
Is not his faul im brazilian and this is because of 13 years of left government
US should be asked to cluster bomb in rows if their are unpopulated areas to divert that polluted sludge from causing worse disasters.
ഇത് കണ്ടിട്ടെങ്കിലും നമ്മടെ നേതാക്കന്മാർ മുല്ലപ്പെരിയാറിൽ പുതിയ ടാം പണിയണം എന്നാഗ്രഹിക്കുന്നവർ ഉണ്ടോ?
LOL.
Climate is changing dams will fail
Tristeza sempre acontece
Allahu akbar
I am Brazilian, God blesses Brazil, Christians and Jews, Yes !!!!
There is no god, and if there is, he just murdered 300+ Brazillians.
Olá sou brasileiro
Hi i am brazilian
Quer um leitinho?
Legal, quer biscoito? Zzz
Só tem Br s aki falando que foi culpa do PT
Bolsonaro’s policies will increase the frequency of environmental disasters like this
o_o That’s not bolsonario fault that was pt fault
Are you even Brazilian?
We’ll have to wait and see. Don’t be hasty. People have said a lot of things that didn’t happen and vice-versa.
flooded with illegals
All words from your leaders and oligarchs of the industries… if heads won’t roll with this 200 feared dead then there is no hope for your country.. my condolences to the victims.😥

Minas Gerias? Minas Gerais*
In my language there is a popular expression This is Brazil…
You want this president . you got him !!!!
It’s NOT Bolsonaro’s fault
I only wish that this idiot was sad enough to agree to spend the rest of his life in jail. That would be the only acceptable degree of sadness.
What is the idiot?
I wonder if the president of Brazil will stand up against large corporations?
😑😑😑😑😑😑
why should he?
So Is the Australian mining company responsible for the disaster?
Brazilian
Money will always be more important than life, From America to the smallest country money will over pass the public health or life
I’m brazilian and i know what that is. This is what happens when you hand over your country 16 years to corrupt communists.
Não é questão de ser esquerda/direita eles sempre vão governar em prol dos financiadores de campanha que no caso são essas grandes empresas a Vale deve ter economizado um bom dinheiro com essa história
@GABRIEL não fala merda cara, tu é um doente, se interna.
O Brasil realmente não era comunista,mas os governadores do Brasil eram todos de esquerda nos últimos 33 anos.
Don’t say bullshit. Brazil is not comunist you idiot!
This happens when you let corporate run your country.. You have been always corrupt. Your Portagese DNA is made up with corruption
It’s a small enough loss for Brazil to carry on progressing. If only they could destroy the rainforest, drain the swamps and reclaim Brazil, this wouldn’t happen.
Here in Brazil is like that. Unhappily.
Mano só tem gringo idiota aqui achando q a culpa é do bolsonaro, sem ao menos saber sobre nossa situação atual.
Ao menos*
@CaduM vlw kkkk
Que coisa boa kkkkk
Natural selection at its best. Just thinning out the herd
you are crazy?
Woah What the
Look what mankind has done to mother nature. She is dying. She taking us with her.
Newly elected president, and guy that always knows to say the right thing,first said the federal government has nothing to do with this.
55 kills
Isso foi muito aterrorizante nós aqui no Brasil estamos tristes chocados com o que ocorreu
With a right-wing government, forget about making the people responsible accountable.
Oh yeah, because a left-wing government does that, right?
I hope people of Brazil remain strong and work together my condolences to you – unfortunately large corporations are ruining the beautiful country in order to gain profit
*the fault is the old government*
essa é a herança que o antigo governo nos deixou.
300 desaparecidos 67 mortos e um vivo
this is the fault of “socialism” that almost ended our country 🇧🇷✖
but, with Bolsonaro and the good peoples we will become the best country of the world… write this.
16 anos de uma corrupção nunca vista no mundo. Uma empresa que não pagou ainda o valor em multas pelo acidente anterior, quase 1 TRILHÃO. E um país onde genocidas não tem pena de morte.
Força gente 🇧🇷🇧🇷❤😥
I’m Brazilian and a tragedy of this makes me sad and like I lost a part of Brazil
Mohammed ate pork and sodomized little boys.
Quanto tempo mais os pequenos sofrerão nas mãos dos grandes?
Hi, my name is Lara I live in Brazil, the whole of Brazil is in shock many dead people and more than 300 disappeared, we all hope that the brumadinho dam will not break again because there are chances to break and cause a tragedy again
I m From Minas gerais Brasil and How is Sad we are Sad once again . First time in Mariana and How in Brumadinho . God help us
Tidak sana.tpi mirip petobo
They don’t cares about the poor,and the poor are busy helping them to vote them in office…this is totally wickedness…my condolences the family are
Vale is a horrible mining company.
Vale should close there company in Brazil and Sudbury Ontario Canada.
Some simple minded blame this to “capitalism”… In Brazil, this was not the case, on the contrary, this disaster and the other one at Mariana both were caused by Capimunism or Globalism: The association between transnational speculators and local state companies. Not a single true real economy Brazilian private company took part in this mass murder event…
Var-lay
*Minas Gerais
Correction:
Is Minas Gerais, Not Minas Gerias
