Progressive Failure in Manaus Port
In November, 2010, there was a progressive failure of a river port in Manaus. This was not picked up by the media. I was given access to the security camera's video of the accident in progress. It appears to have been the classical set up for such a failure: construction activity (construction of a fill, some excavation) to accommodate lower river levels due to an unusual drought in the Amazon (yes, Global Warming is leaving its imprint everywhere) sparked the failure.
