By Monday night, firefighters in the state of Minas Gerais had confirmed that 65 people were killed by Friday's disaster, when a burst tailings dam sent a torrent of sludge into the miner's offices and the town of Brumadinho. Brazil's acting president, Hamilton Mourao, told reporters a government task force on the disaster response is looking at whether it could or should change Vale's top management. "The question of Vale's management is being studied by the crisis group," said Mourao, who is serving as acting president for some 48 hours while President Jair Bolsonaro recovers from surgery.
