A cliff collapsed Saturday onto leisure boats at a Brazilian lake, killing seven and injuring 32, authorities said.
Three people are still missing in the horrifying tragedy on Lake Furnas that was captured on social video, fire officials said.
Large rocks on the cliff became more susceptible to collapse after days of rain in Minas Gerais state, and three boats were struck by the falling debris on the popular tourist lake, authorities said.
A video posted on Twitter shows a large swath of boulders from a cliff come crashing into the water, striking the tourist boats.
Rovilson Teixeira told the Brazilian outlet OTempo he has never seen anything like it.
“We are all stunned, nobody knows how many victims, but I can already tell you that there were not one or two deaths, but many deaths,” he said. “There are a lot of hurt people. The region is full of ambulances that have come from other areas to pick up the victims, but no one yet realizes the scale of the tragedy here.”
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
