It's the rainy season. This has happened for thousands of years. Why the fuck are you building hotels there?

@youngloenoe spoken with true Christian clarity. I agree that our Americanized hind-sight way of looking at things needs to change. Everyone always lines up to judge the outcome of an event, but hardly anyone is lining up to be proactive. To be honest with you...Our entire system of living is extremely flawed. We need Jesus to come and press the metaphorical reset button on our society. We need to start fresh and re-evaluate everything from plumbing to purchase power. Godbless.

How can this city host the olympic games if it cannot handle its people who live in shacks, cardboard houses, landfills, slums. This is such an event that will only benefit the corrupted goverment and its affiliated construction companies.

Ignorant people need to stop commenting, this has nothing to do with Americans, dont believe what you hear, we are not bad people, like every other country, we have had bad representatives, the stupid comments posted here do not reflect the views of Americans, just the ignorant

[IntelArt]

O governo do Rio recolhe IPTU e impostos por + de 30 anos em areas de risco E agora Cabral?

we keep on FUCKING with Mother Earth & Mother Earth will keep on FUCKING with us all.

This is EVERYBODY's TRAGEDY !

[youngloenoe]

such comments are so typical of americans...when tragedy happened on your backyard were you also saying the same things? When tornados wash away your lands and you rebuild year after year do you come and say "hey its tornado season didnt you think that before you built your house?" Why can't you people wake up and notice the huge log on your eyes blocking your judgement hipocrites? Lord have mercy of the family members,make them strong during their moments of sorrow and mourning.
