The victims of the tragedy in Brumadinho (MG) were remembered today (25) during an event on Avenida Paulista, in the central region of the city of São Paulo, throughout the day.
Around noon, the sound of a siren recalled the time when the dam at the Córrego do Feijão mine collapsed four years ago.

At the time, the signs that should alert officials and the population did not inform about the danger and 270 people died. Vale’s president, Fábio Schvartsman, admitted that the dam monitoring measures did not work.
Since 2020, the Camila and Luiz Taliberti Institute has promoted an act in memory and tribute to the victims.
Considered one of the biggest environmental and labor tragedies in Brazil, the rupture of the dam in Brumadinho is four years old today (25). In the tragedy, 270 people died, most of them employees working in the structures of the Vale company. The bodies of three victims are still missing and are sought by the Fire Department.
