At least 10 people have died and dozens are missing after a passenger boat sank in stormy weather on a major river in northern Brazil
The boat was carrying about 70 passengers when it sank in the Xingu River in the state of Para late on Tuesday
Public security officials in Para say about 15 people managed to get to shore after the boat took on water
It’s understood at least two young children are among the dead
Paulo newspaper said the boat departed Santarem
on Monday night and was heading to Vitoria do Xingu
It was supposed to stop in Monte Alegre and Prainha before reaching its final destination but it sank in a remote area between the cities of Porto de Moz and Senador Jose Porfirio
described a chaotic scene as the boat cracked apart and quickly sank
He told the G1 news portal that a tarpaulin sheltering passengers from a heavy downpour made it difficult to escape
“The tarp prevented many people from leaving
but neither I nor the child had a life jacket on,” Costa said
Costa said a man trying to get off the boat suddenly jumped on his back and grabbed the child away from him
He last saw the man sinking in the river and did not know what happened to the child
He told G1 he found a life jacket and used it to stay afloat
but he saw many others in the water who “failed to make it.”
Travel by river is common in Brazil’s northern states
which include the Amazon rainforest and have relatively fewer major roads
In early August a cargo vessel collided with a tugboat on the Amazon River
Only two people were rescued out of 11 aboard the tugboat
