Footage of the calamity shows cars and cows being swept away by the raging river as buildings and roads crumble. Debris and ruins of collapsed houses can be seen floating in the river as damages are estimated to be at $20 million. At least half a million people have been left without power and clean water across the state after a hydroelectric dam burst, sending a 6ft wave and causing more panic. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Heart-stopping moment bridge is wiped out in \u2018apocalyptic\u2019 Brazil floods &amp; roads turn to rivers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/s5C34voblN0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em><strong><span class=\"yt-core-attributed-string yt-core-attributed-string--white-space-pre-wrap\"><span class=\"yt-core-attributed-string--link-inherit-color\">Read more:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em> <strong><span class=\"yt-core-attributed-string yt-core-attributed-string--white-space-pre-wrap\"><span class=\"yt-core-attributed-string--link-inherit-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbnIxZjlXdnBaTHVUSVdPOTJIb0Nyc3pKczE1Z3xBQ3Jtc0tsazBwNEhpejYtQ2tpTURZNzlWNFV1N2RNWTMtbzZuTnI3eFFnYnAtMFE4VFUybm9JS0xUR3p5U0hjTm9HNDRLSWtCYlh2cTdTU3cxSU0xOHQ3aU5hc2tiME9vMXFWWndtTnVRRGw3QkUtckVSYnYybw&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thesun.co.uk%2Fnews%2F27702882%2Fapocalyptic-brazil-floods%2F&amp;v=s5C34voblN0\" class=\"yt-core-attributed-string__link yt-core-attributed-string__link--display-type yt-core-attributed-string__link--call-to-action-color\" tabindex=\"0\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/news\/2770288&#8230;<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3 May 2024 &#8211; Shocking footage shows the moment a bridge collapses and vanishes in &#8220;apocalyptic&#8221; Brazil floods that killed at least 32 people.
