Jeeez. This is a lovely story. Those heavy rains in Brazil that killed over 50 last week have kept up, and now a dam has burst.
"RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil: The collapse of a dam at a mining company dumped an estimated 2 billion liters (530 million gallons) of mud, bauxite and aluminum sulfate into rivers that supply water for some 90,000 people, the government said Thursday.
In Muriae, a city of 85,000 some 200 miles (318 kilometers) northeast of Rio, the polluted water covered houses, killed fish and left a muddy mark 2 meters (7 feet) high on city the walls of city buildings."
