The fallout from the Brazilian tailings dam disaster took a stunning turn on Wednesday, with the owner of the dam, Vale, signalling it will pull as much as 40 million tonnes out of the market as it races to decommission 19 similar dams.
The death toll from the tragedy stands at 84, with more than 270 still missing. There are also reports that environmental issues are emerging from the spill. This is just a terrible, terrible tragedy.
