Somebody should go to prison for this. After one of their dams failed in 2015, the company should have double down on safety measures.

They did double down. They hired two consulting companies.

They did double down. They hired two consulting companies.

And fired one of them.

I don't know. Another video showed a couple more seconds of the buildings in the foreground getting smacked. I would like to see a longer video.

RUN!!!!!!!

That was the 2015 dam collapse.

This video has a few more seconds of the 2019 collapse from the conveyor plus downstream footage from a different camera (at 3:07 minutes).

Yeah, I know. It's kind of amazing that a couple years later the same shit happens with the same mining company. Freaking greedy assholes.
