Landslide Destroys Port

Wow, take a look at this video of a landslide that destroyed Manaus port, on the Rio Grande riverside. The CCTV video shows the catastrophe that happened at the Brazilian port on October 17. 12 people are missing with 2 people confirmed dead. According to port owner, José Ferreira de Oliveira, the almost 1,000-foot-long landslide happened when workers were using heavy machinery to build a ramp to connect the port to the Rio Negro. In seconds, more than fifty containers loaded with electronic and chemical products, along with trucks and port equipment fell into the river as the concrete and asphalt crumbled from lack of support.
