At around 12 noon on a Saturday, Purnas Gorge in Brazil.
Tourists enjoying the weekend in small boats point and shout.
Rocks fall from the rock wall into the lake one after another, and then the cliff of several tens of meters collapses and hits the three boats at the bottom of the cliff.
There was a big wave, and the surrounding area became a chaos, and the ships that managed to escape the anger hurried out.
[Edgard Estévo / Fire Chief: Divers are conducting a search operation on the surface and underwater.
The search operation will continue.]
So far, 7 people have been killed and 3 people have gone missing in the accident.
Nine of the 32 injured are seriously injured and are being treated in hospitals.
In the vicinity of the Purnas Gorge in Minas Gerais, where the accident occurred, it rained more than 100 mm a day for four days in a row.
Local disaster authorities believe the rock collapsed after the torrential rains loosened it.
