  Brazilian here. Wanna know a fun fact?<br><br>They made a paper a couple of months after the incident, and revealed more than 10 other dams in the same situation of collapse risk. So far, nothing has been done.

  a fact to know, the firefighters that worked on the site after the accident refer to the victims as &quot;gems&quot; because of the importance of every life that was lost and the importance to find every person missing after the failure, to this day there is less than a handfull of people there were never found.

  I really like that you diversified yourself to more than only nuclear disasters. When I talk to people who are affraid of nuclear energy I refer them to this channel so they can get a perspective.

  If Vale can afford a 250 million real fine, having their assets frozen, cleaning up the environment, and paying seven billion dollars to the families AND still be in business, they weren&apos;t punished anywhere near enough.

  Just recently there was a huge flood in Bozkurt, Kastamonu, Turkey. There&apos;s a hydroelectric plant in the area, and a message was relayed to public before the disaster that the regulator channels of the dam was going to be opened to discharge extra water and preserve the dam. But the village down the river got washed away hard. Official report says 25 dead, but it&apos;s apparent that the toll will be measured by hundreds.

  ~&quot;There is water coming out of the hole we drilled for drainage.&quot;<br>* &quot;Fill it with concrete.&quot;<br>~&quot;Great idea!&quot;

  To lose one dam, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both, looks like carelessness.

  One of the most horrifying things about this is that there were people standing on top of the dam when it collapsed... there&apos;s footage of that.<br><br>&quot;Cenas fortes - momento exato do rompimento da barragem de Brumadinho com vítimas fatais&quot; it&apos;s graphic

  Apparently Vale hadn&apos;t finished paying the fines and damages from the first disaster when this one happened.

  It was terrifying to watch this on the day where the news exploded with this.
