Death Toll In Brazilian Mining Disaster Hits 60

Description

Firefighters in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais have confirmed 60 people dead in Friday’s mining disaster. The disaster occurred when a dam broke, sending a torrent of sludge into the miner’s offices and the town of Brumadinho. Nearly 300 other people are unaccounted for, says Reuters. Officials said it was unlikely that any would be found alive. Brazil’s Vice President Hamilton Mourao said the government needs to punish those responsible for the dam disaster.
