Impressive Images Show The Moment When A Hole Opens Near The Estreito Bridge, Minutes Before Its Complete Collapse.

The JK Bridge, which connected Estreito (MA) and Aguiarnópolis (TO), collapsed last Sunday (23), in a disaster that shocked the region.

Moments before the bridge’s collapse, a bus driver recorded images showing cracks and holes appearing in the bridge’s structure.

He was able to cross it, but other vehicles were not as lucky. It is estimated that between five and seven fell into the Tocantins River.

Victims and Rescues

Among those rescued is Jairo, a resident of Tucuruí (PA), who was found alive. However, his wife and daughter are among the missing. At least eight people remain missing at this time.

The searches, conducted by the Fire Department, were interrupted during the night for safety reasons and will resume on this Monday (24).

The situation is worsened by the presence of two trucks transporting sulfuric acid, which fell into the river during the collapse, posing a risk of chemical contamination.

The City Hall of Estreito issued an alert, requesting that residents avoid any contact with the waters of the Tocantins River. Meanwhile, specialized teams are assessing the environmental impacts and assisting in the search efforts.

Authorities are investigating the causes of the collapse. The case reinforces the urgent need for oversight and maintenance of bridges and viaducts throughout Brazil. The history of neglect in critical infrastructures raises concerns about new accidents.

Victims and Rescues

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

Scientists have discovered that the Earth recycles its own continents in the depths, dragging pieces of crust down during plate collisions and returning them later as magma, in a mechanism called relamination that has helped build the continents for billions of years.

Turkey is building a billion-dollar shortcut to channel billions of dollars by sea with a 45 km long canal, 275 meters wide and 20.75 meters deep, which promises to relieve the Bosphorus amid the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz.

With around 250,000 tons and powered by liquefied natural gas, the Legend of the Seas debuts as the largest cruise ship ever built in the world.

After 40 years of floods, a city in SC advances with a 943-meter underground tunnel using controlled detonations, a R$ 20 million project that promises to reduce flooding and transform extracted rocks into material for road recovery.

While Paraguay promises R$ 250 billion in data centers for AI, Brazil responds with an unprecedented megastructure in Latin America, R$ 30 billion in supercomputers, foreign giants competing for space, and a technological advantage difficult to achieve on the continent.

Government promises to destroy driver’s licenses and a decision involving more than 28,000 documents at the Detran, potentially affecting thousands of drivers as an unexpected consequence that almost no one is noticing.
