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.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.
