BARAO DE COCAIS, Brazil - It was bad enough for Paulo de Morais when he was expelled in early February from the house where he lived for 22 years, in the shadow of a mining dam at risk of collapse.
“From one day to the next everything changed,” said Morais, who lived with his wife and two children in a red house he built himself just behind a 300-year-old church in the now-abandoned Brazilian community of Socorro. The main town is 15 km from Socorro but a study by Vale this week said it and two other villages would be in the path of the mud flow if the dam breaks, forcing the evacuation of some 10,000 people, according to press reports.
The Minas Gerais environment secretary estimated this week that the dam had a 10-15% chance of collapsing.
