Colonel Edgard Estevo da Silva, head of the Minas Gerais Firemen, said at a media briefing that “so far, there are five confirmed deaths” and “the current estimate is 20 missing people”, with furthermore to 32 people who were wounded.
Tourists come to see the rock walls, tunnels, and waterfalls that encircle the emerald waters of Lake Furnas, which was created by the same-named hydroelectric dam. The precise time when the cliff collapses on the three boats, to the fear of the people who view the incident from the other boats, can be seen in shocking footage posted to the internet.
A minute before the collapse, multiple people warned that “many stones are falling” and called at the passengers of the other boats to get away from the edge, according to a video shared online.
For security considerations, searches will be halted overnight and restarted in the morning. According to Estevo, the number of people who have vanished has been determined based on ‘information from witnesses, tourism agencies, and relatives’.
