They added that 57 bodies have so far been identified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The disaster happened on Friday afternoon when a tailings dam holding mining waste failed in Brumadinho, a town in the state of Minas Gerais, about 30 kilometers (19 miles) southwest of Belo Horizonte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The breach released a toxic mudflow that buried the worksite and parts of the nearby community, destroying everything in its way. Nearly all of the victims were employees of Vale, the mining giant which owns the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>259 people remain missing, including about 100 people who were having lunch in the company dining hall, which was located just below the dam. Rescue workers have so far been unable to find the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BREAKING: Dam breaks in southeast Brazil, causing an unknown number of casualties <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/oqt9yV3gpm\">https:\/\/t.co\/oqt9yV3gpm<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7aOXavjm2B\">pic.twitter.com\/7aOXavjm2B<\/a><\/p>&mdash; BNO News (@BNONews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BNONews\/status\/1088843257021370368?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 25, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\"><p lang=\"pt\" dir=\"ltr\">O <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Balan%C3%A7oGeralMG?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Balan\u00e7oGeralMG<\/a> est\u00e1 ao vivo com imagens da barragem que rompeu em Brumadinho, na Grande BH.
