A second Brazilian dam could collapse, four months after 270 people were killed by the failure of Vale's Brumadinho dam. Vale has now warned that the embankment at its Gongo Soco mine in Sul Superior is close to collapse, which could also lead to the failure of the associated Minas Gerais dam. Evacuation plans have been made for the nearby mining town of Barao de Cocais. Hundreds of people have already left their homes.
