Boaters were enjoying a popular tourist attraction when the unthinkable happened.

Tragedy Strikes
The video is mind-boggling to watch.
Some boats in the nearby area started to see the rocks crumbling.
You can hear them screaming warnings to other boats closer to the rock face to move out of the way.

The accident happened at the lake at Capitolio, in Minas Gerais state, in southeastern Brazil…
Authorities have stated that at least seven people are known to be dead.
Three were still missing, and more than two dozen were injured.

“The region is full of ambulances that have come from other areas to pick up the victims, but no one yet realizes the scale of the tragedy here.”
Of those taken to the hospital, 23 are believed only to have suffered minor injuries.
At least one person is currently listed in critical condition of those remaining.
