Videos of Saturdays incident showed tourists shouting as a column of rock came crashing down, smashing several leisure boats and sending a huge wave over the lake at Capitolio.

Rescue teams including a dive squad and members of the Brazilian Navy rushed to Furnas Lake. * +

It was a relatively small chunk of rock, really. Still not something you want on your boat.

17,000 people nearby had been flooded out of their homes, apparently. The area had been subjected to extreme conditions. There will be fingers pointed. * +

I was imagining a full-height section before i saw the video, tbf.

I'm sure it would've looked pretty big to anyone under it (what)

That's horrendous. There were severe weather warnings but it seems that only enticed people to visit.. * +

there's probably little the boat drivers could've done to know in advance, all the same if I saw that huge slab fall on my family member I'd be fu*king livid with them. *
