Death-number dambroup Brazil over 100

brumadinho - The bone breach in Brazil has now killed 110 people. The numerator of the number of missing persons stands at 238. 71 of the salvaged bodies have been identified.

The dam at an iron mine in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais collapsed, causing parts of the town of Brumadinho, south of Belo Horizonte, to be flooded by a stream of mud and waste. An area as large as four hundred football fields is covered by 12 million cubic meters of mud.

The search for missing people is difficult because many bodies have been dragged along by the mudflow.
