Brazil: Vale and BHP accused over Samarco disaster
Brazil suffered a major environmental disaster on 5 November when the Fundao tailings dam collapsed at the Samarco Mineração iron ore mine, releasing about 60m cubic metres of water and slurry that destroyed the local town of Bento Rodrigues and pushed its way down the Rio Doce river towards the Atlantic coast some 500km downstream. At least 15 people died, with some still listed as missing.
