Description
Nathalia de Oliveira, an intern at Brazilian mining giant Vale in the town of Brumadinho, was talking on the phone with her husband when she noticed a rush of birds overhead and felt the ground shake beneath her. When the 25-year-old mother of two turned, she saw a tsunami of mud rushing at her. Oliveira was one of at least 270 people killed when a dam holding more than 11 million cubic meters (nearly three billion gallons) of mining waste collapsed on January 25, 2019, unleashing a brown sea of sludge. Five years later, emergency workers are still searching for Oliveira and two others whose remains have never been found. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
