The closing submissions in a landmark lawsuit in London related to Brazil's catastrophic 2015 Mariana dam collapse revealed deep emotional pain among bereaved mothers demanding justice for their lost children. Nineteen people died when the dam overflowed, polluting rivers and displacing thousands. Over 600,000 Brazilians and various local governments are pursuing BHP for damages worth up to $36 billion, claiming negligence in operating the dam. BHP argues that existing legal proceedings in Brazil should take precedence, disputing responsibility for the disaster, while the global legal implications remain significant.
With tears in their eyes, mothers of children who died in Brazil's worst environmental disaster, the 2015 Mariana dam collapse, demanded justice for their loved ones as submissions in their London lawsuit came to an end.
The lawsuit, one of the largest in English legal history, began in October and ended on Thursday with closing submissions, with claims totaling up to $36 billion.
