Brazilian Dam Collapse-- By Diya Ghayal

Summary: In Sao Paulo, Brazil, there was a recent dam burst at a Brazilian iron mine. This dam flooded parts of the southeastern state of Minas Gerais with mud, and mining debris. At least 34 people have been found dead, and hundreds more are missing.  Rescue missions stopped at Saturday 8 P.M, due to heavy rain and weather, and resumed Sunday at 4 A.M.

Analysis: This article was last updated at 8 P.M, yesterday, Saturday, January 26., which means that the information is pretty reliable and up to date. This article was written to inform us of death and casualties within Brazil, and as to the reason why this dam burst was caused. Many Brazilians are emotional because this event relates back to the 2015 mining disaster that was very similar to this one. Like the last mining disaster, this one is going to cause much money to fix. This article is important because it lets us be aware of what alarming events are occurring around the world, and what we can do to sympathize and help.
