Brazil :another dam burst 300 missing as mud engulfs town
 
[Up to nine people have died and at least 200 are missing after a dam burst at an iron ore mine in Brazil.
The disaster happened near the city of Belo Horizonte in the Minas Gerais state, unleashing a torrent
of mud towards the town of Brumadinho in the south east of the country on Friday evening.
The fire brigade has confirmed hundreds of people are missing, including 200 workers from the mine owned by Vale.
The mayor of Brumadinho, Avimar de Melo Barcelos says nine bodies have so far been recovered from the mud.]

Tragic
could this be cheap cement used in the Dam?

reminds me of this dam collapse, this stava dam disaster was featured on that one nat geo show seconds from disaster

it collapsed because it was also poorly built and maintained


hmm could we be looking at similar poor construction and poor maintenance of the dam
