A video aired on Brazilian media shows the exact moment a dam burst in Brazil on 25 January. The dam break at an iron ore mining complex operated by the minerals firm Vale killed at least 65 people. A further 279 are missing. Cars can be seen driving around desperately trying to escape as a dramatic gush of mud approaches. The surge buried buildings adjoining the dam and several parts of the nearby city of Brumadinho

It was crab people, they did the same in beaverton
Why does the dam look like a grassy hill?
Dam that's scary
butthead laugh uh-huh-huh-huh. That was cool! uh-huh-huh-huh!
Three subsidences (craters) formed simultaneously at the left, center and right of the dam (see 00:07). This is indicative of an underground explosion at those points, as such craters form because the soil gets vaporized by the underground blast. The ground then collapses into itself, forming the craters.
With structural integrity lost, the mud flowed forward with explosive force.
The saboteurs chose this particular dam, out of the several dozen the mining company Vale operates in the region, because there was a cafeteria in the way. This would guarantee maximum casualties. That's why the explosions took place at 12:28 PM, the middle of lunchtime.
It is worth remembering that, in Brazil, restaurants and cafeterias are most crowded at this time, since lunch is the main meal for Brazilians.
Big oof moment
Wish Owen Jones was directly in its path.
It is volcanic eruption not any Dam collapsed
when will humanity learn. never is the word.
??
It pushes out from under the ground??
0:01 "Some viewers may find it disturbing"
Oh yeah thats why Im here. You don't have to over sell it.
I am indeed one if those viewers for whom the warning was given in the beginning of the video.
P.S. I am also aquaphobic. ?
I shouldn't have watched this.
Water always finds its own level.
this same company have a project right now in manitoba. im sure the polices or w.e. are different but it aint far from the hudson bay.
I came here from that jerk named Tyler Skovdal Studio.
I'm happy now
the beginning looks like a special effect in a movie
Brumadinho (Mariana) tragedy was terrifying, Vale the miner of this dam said that another dam can breach in a random time due to bad conditions, i want it to dont breach, did you think about how many peoples died here?
We don’t have tsunamis, so they had to improvise some way
Let this be a lesson for the DWR for OROVILLE DAM in Northern Calfornia, different types of dams, BUT same criminal politically-motivated, greedy, disgusting, despicable, lying people in charge. So very sorry for your tragedy. Those misleading and ignoring people in peril should rot in hell.
Der leaux sont'çoin ahuera mixe tuy barragis rumpe
Distressing? Bwhajahahjahajajjajajjahah
Im using the original definition of the word here: that is truly awesome
Damn
0:26 that looks like a lava flows
E vai ter mais viu!! Brasil ladroagem desgraçada só matando o povo por falta de competencia ?
Brazilian engineering
Wow
is this another bhp mine site?
Piping phenomena. Negligence.
This country está fudido
That's a big ting
Maybe they should build their dams out of something other than mud.
Vale desgraçada!
nice video trickery
Death is on the way
me after chipotle
Condolences to the victims and families. This is tragic event and justice for all victims.
Corporate murder indeed.
Looks like Johnstown all over again:
A dam is built or maintained by people who don’t know a thing about the power of water, ignore all the specialist advice to either push an agenda or to cut costs whatever the reason, times passes until one day, BOOM, the dam LITERALLY disintegrates, claims countless lives and they make fools of themselves in the process by apologising or something, even though they could’ve done something about it, like a build a more impermeable structure that’ll hold back your damn liquid.
It’s happened time and time again throughout history:
Bilberry Flood, UK, 1852
The Johnstown Flood of 1889
St Francis Dam Disaster of 1928
Baldwin Hills Dam failure in 1963
Vajont Dam tsunami in 1963
Teton Dam failure in 1976
So many lives lost, so many millions sometimes billions of dollars in damages, such widespread potential devastation, and still not a single lesson is learned.
I would not mind this kind of thing so much if only those responsible for the disaster, in this case those who failed to properly design and maintain this dam, were killed and the only ones killed. But that's never the case. In fact, often those most responsible end up drinking pina coladas on a beach somewhere.
The reason for this collapse was said to be soil liquefaction. Yeah, I didn't know what that meant either, but Google helped.
Omg I didn't think about this
Precisamos mudar… Os acionistas ganham… Os investidores ganham e os proprietários bilhões… Processo produtivo arcaico para manter a oligarquia mundial do poder

All our science. All our hopes…our dreams are foolish! In the face of this, we are dust, nothing more. Unto this dust, we return. When he chooses for us to die, it is not our place to challenge God.
Dam ?
HAHAHAHA DIE BRAZIL
