cliff collapses on tourists and causes seven deaths

Fumas Lake, located in the state of Minas Gerais (Brazil), is renowned for its paradisiacal decor. However, the tourist spot was the site of a terrible accident that occurred on Saturday January 8. While several boats are present on the lake, the entire section of a cliff has collapsed on one of them, crushing the tourists who come to admire the canyon. If several people, including children, have been found healthy and saved, seven people did not survive the collapse, and nine others were injured.

Three people remain missing to date. “We carry out our research work on the surface of the water, but also in the water with divers. The investigative work will continue “, expressed Colonel Edgar Estevo de Silva of the Minas State Rescue Service Gerais. The search, interrupted overnight due to heavy rains, continued on the morning of January 9.
