Dam Burst Brazil one Year After

The 'in-and-out' of trucks in the construction of the S3 dam, erected by Samarco to supposedly prevent the rest of the contaminated mud from reaching the river Doce during the rainy season, does not stop even on weekends. On Nov. 5th 2015, aprox. 40 billion liters of mining tailings contaminated mud broke from Samarco's (owned by Vale and BHP Blliton) Fundao dam, in the biggest enviromental disaster of Brazil's history, killing 19 people and destroying villages and cities between Mariana and Barra Longa. Mariana, Oct. 29th, 2016. (Photo by Gustavo Basso/NurPhoto)
