Television images from the city of Mariana, in Minas Gerais state, showed heavy trucks overturned and dozens of homes awash in red mud. The mine is operated by Samarco, a joint venture between the Australian mining giant, BHP Billiton, and the Brazilian company, Vale. Samarco said in a statement it had not yet determined why the dam burst, nor the extent of the disaster at its Germano mine near the town.
