Death toll rises in Brazil dam collapse as mining company faces criticism
Sao Paulo, Brazil (CNN)The death toll from a Brazilian dam collapse at an iron mine rose to 60 on Monday, according to officials.
Authorities say 427 people were in the Córrego do Feijão mine in the southeastern state of Minas Gerais when the dam burst Friday, unleashing a muddy sea of mining debris into the region.
Hundreds of people are still missing and the extent of damage is still being calculated, especially in the mining town of Brumadinho, which was nearly buried in the deluge.
