- DRAMATIC new footage shows a major airport drowned in 7ft of water after "apocalyptic" floods continue to hit Brazil.
At least 145 have died and more than half a million have been left homeless as endless torrential batter the country's south.
Salgado Filho International Airport has been caught up in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul's "worst disaster."
A shocking video showed jumbo jets floating in water next to a desolate airport that now can only be reached by boat.

Sending prayers to the Brazilian people throughout this horrendous crisis. The firefighters and vets rescuing the horse from the rooftop was the most wonderful thing I have ever seen.
💝💖💝💖💝💖
So do I.
When the heck have “prayers” ever worked🙄. Just send them money.
They works only for the sender.
❤❤
Those Olympic rowers have already won a gold medal for their assistance to their country.
Very very sad with what happened in Brazil . My prayers for Brazil. Love from Bali, Indonesia. 😭😭🙏🙏🇮🇩🇮🇩
Terimakasi
I am so sorry for the lovely people of Brazil to be going through this nightmare. My prayers are with them all right now.
Obrigado 🫂 que Deus te abençoe ❤

Thank you very much.🙏🇧🇷❤️

Thank you ..🙏🥲
Prayers to the people of Brazil from NYC. A jet with flood water up to the wings is a hell of a lot of water. Disasters like this bring out the Best and the Worst in people. People want to help their fellow countrymen, yet others just want to loot and pillage. So many places on Earth are going through catastrophic disasters in many forms. It was heartwarming to see those workers rescuing that horse. I worry about what could be in the water besides physical obstructions. Just imagine how awesome it would be if every civilized country offered whatever they could give in assistance. Prayers for Brazil.
God bless the Brazilian hearts of the army and people xx
amen 🙏🙏🙏
O povo do Rio grande do sull abominam o exército brasileiro , xingam abominam o Brasil eles se acham superiores
Obrigada.
Obrigado
GRATIDÃO!💗
I am so happy they save the horse that’s been in that same spot for 5 days
Me too🙏🙏🙏
I'm currently living in Porto Alegre, the floods hit most of the generators, a good chunk of the city is left with no water, and the flood water is still high. Most of the city is safe, but being the state capitol, nearly all of the refugees and rescue centers are based in the city, which strains our supplies tremendously.
The city is also partially blocked, and the ramaining passages are crowded with food trucks, donations, rescue crews from the rest of the country, etc.
To all who read this: nature acted to cause this, but not alone. We contributed for events like these to happen more often and more aggressively, and it just did. the flood we had in 1941 was surpassed already, and the only reason why it wasn't 3x worse for our city specifically its because we had a wall built after that first flood
Make a difference, don't let giant corporations burn the world to a crisp for money, don't let politicians slide when they disregard maintenance that can save lives in disasters like these, and most importantly: Don't neglect the past, for its just a taste of what can, and will, happen in the future if you don't help prevent it.
Gov. Eduardo Leite bypassed over 400 environmental laws, so I hear.
I cried like a baby watching videos of people being reunited with their animals they thought they had lost forever.
Would be nice to share a way to donate internationally. As Brazilians we know exactly where to go to donate but I don't see an option for everyone else watching this.
Moro no Rio grande do Sul, isso pode acontecer em qualquer lugar do mundo, oremos e nos ajudarmos uns aos outros por toda a terra.
Verdade Leila, como posso te ajudar, estou em Londres, fale conosco
Poxa imagina., se vocês tivessem se separado do restante do Brasil como vocês sulistas queriam., por se acharem melhores e autosuficientes. Estavam ms fedidos ainda. E olha que ironia, se acham superiores é agora estão precisando de ajuda do restando do Brasil hein

This is so heartbreaking to see the massive destruction by this catastrophe. After Dubai now Brazil. My thoughts and prayers to the affected people in Brazil. Hoping that this deluge would come to an end the soonest. Stay strong and be safe.
Guess it’s time for Elon musk to think of a way to turn car into boat before flooding hits.
Perhaps it's judgement and the whole world needs to repent
O Brasil inteiro está ajudando o Rio Grande do Sul🙏❤️
🙏🌈 Amém
Sou de Mg e estarmos ajudando E Sil vai vencer
All the poor wildlife too.
Soooo sad!😢 I hate thinking of ANY animals going thru this.
i don't think there is wildlife there
Praying for everyone affected ❤️🩹 Brazil
I had no idea how bad it was down there. Praying for these people to find peace in the storm, direction for the relief help and needs to be met for all. America praying for Brazil. ❤
So sad and wonderful to see that poor horse saved This is so heartbreaking for these people and animalsPrayers of Love and Support for All 🙏🏼
O cavalo é o símbolo do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul , ele e seus 5 dias de resiliência mostra a bravura do nosso amado Estado. 🤝👍👏.
Human reactions to a disaster: Rescue, humanitarian aid, and then police and military to protect against looters. It seems it doesn’t matter where the disaster happens, unless it happens in a poor rural area where people didn’t have anything to loot.
I'm Brazilian, and I'm here in the state where the flood is
90% are the people who are helping the people, the government is not even able to protect people from criminals, the people themselves are armed defending themselves
the military cant work as police, its ilegal, so they are not protecting the shelters, and the brigade only works on comercial hours till 18h, this has been a complaint since day one, but its been 10 days now and nothing changed. also some shelters have prisioners sheltered with the population, one mayoer tried to get them somewhere else but the judiciary refused saying it was prejudice againt the prisioners....prejudice ? explain to me then why were they separated from population with bars? was it prejudice ?
Those guys that cant compete at the Olympic tryouts now won the gold to me.
Absolutely
Worst than Katrina hurricane.
Heartbreaking.
So many animals...😢 bodies of people. 😢
I was there. Katrina killed 1000 people in 3 days.
The saddest part is that it’s not only far from over, the worst flooding is happening now. The peak should be on 5/14 or 5/15. Since the water just meet the ocean in Rio Grande, and the lagoon mouth is narrow, it’ll take a lot of days for everything to go back to its normal levels. We are going to recover from this (we are a very resilient people), but it will be a slow and painful process.
The scenes of the cops quietly boating around flooded streets in the dark is so cool.
Sending love and blessingss and prayers to Brazil
I am saddened by this and for the people of Brazil God Bless you and give you strength to get thru this. Love the horse rescue!❤
My condolences to the families who have lost people.
My best wishes for those waiting for help.
Climate change is happening
So what? The only CONSTANT with climate, is CHANGE. The Earth goes through phases, sometimes it's covered in ice, sometimes it's all green. IT'S NORMAL.
This is no joke people... and just so you know thats one of the best cities in Brazil when it comes to infrastructure, this is a result of a lot of heavy rain, unprecedented levels of water coming in.
@@user-go8vi5lb6u This State is more than 4000km away from the amazon, is grassland not forests..
How many environmental laws did gov Eduardo Leite bypass in these few years? A little over 400?
A cidade pode ter infraestrutura e o restante do estado? Nada foi feito
Prayers to the people affected by this tragedy in Brazil. This appears to be much worse than the recent global warming floods in the USA such as the floods in Texas, California and the immense Katrina event in Louisiana. The end of civilization appears near but industrial greed will not stop and so Gia's systems will bring even more extreme.
Mother Nature is talking now
@@nerinaince Mother Nature is shouting now.
🥺 Foi duas vezes maior que o furacão 🌪️ Catrina até o momento.😢
Infelizmente sim, Rio Grande do Sul tem uma proporção um pouco maior que a Itália, ou seja, é como se todo o País da Itália estivesse submerso.
global warming 😂😂
My condolences! That is so sad!
What happened and is happening to Rio Grande not only affected them, it affected the entire country and do you know why? Because they are the largest producers of grains, meat and others in the country. What is happening is so serious that I am from the state of Bahia, which is 3000km away and food rationing in supermarkets is starting here, that is, we cannot take more than 3kg of rice and beans per person. All the land for planting was destroyed and only God knows how long it remained unproductive and this is very serious! Brazil is so big and glorious that it feeds billions of people in the world, so start praying because if agribusiness in Brazil is affected, the catastrophe will be global! Everyone went hungry, I hope you understood that it is not just a state the size of several European countries that is going through this misfortune, it is a country and if there is a lack of food here, it will be lacking for you too!
Doesn't the country worship and glorify Satan ? Nature is a witness. Nature must obey the Creator.
Unbelievable the devastation, my thoughts and prayers for people affected by this disaster.
Heart goes out to the ppl of this land 💔 to all ppl globally affected by this deluge of water and other disasters happening right now 😢
sending prayers to brazil🙏🙏🙏
love from the philippines🇵🇭
The effort to help these poor people is really something to praise a lot. The entire country come together to help in what is possible… but, this disaster is something beyond anything that had happened before. Rio Grande do Sul is as big as France… and it was almost entirely affected … 😢
Sending prayers in Brazil🙏
A catastrophe of the worst kind. Sad situation.
Deus abençoe meu Brasil ♥️🙏🏼🇧🇷
Praying for the people’s affected and Brazil🙏
Who remember the film Water World ?
These are just the birthng pains. Mother Earth's water won't break until the new moon pulls the oceans out & around the planet east to west with the first major conjunction of mercury & venus in 2033 & every 40 years thereafter for the millennium it takes the earth's orbits to precess across the magnetic equator separating the fermie cells of the Sun's OOrt cloud magnetosphere. Jesus/God warned us. A house divided will never stand now unite.
This is just horrible. My sincere prayers
My home state 😔 Luckily, my dad moved to the coast to retire, the only part no (yet) affected and I live in Enlgand. Never, since 1941, the river gates had to be closed. Now that we needed, they failed. Its devastating, my friends without water, electricity. But that's not even the worse compared with farmers that lost their lands, people that lost their houses, parents that lost their babies and children that lost their parents. There are animals bodies floating around most of the state. The rain continues and the winter approaches... South of Brazil is cold as England in the winter, so imagine...
305 / 5.000
They are hiding the number of fatalities, they reported that in just one neighborhood there were already more than two hundred bodies, imagine in larger places where entire neighborhoods were destroyed by the currents? They found families, parents and children, dead inside their submerged cars, how many more?
Just so you guys know, the cities affected where a in a plane area in the metropolitan region of Porto alegre, the waters extended the flood in area of 7 km away from the rivers, in other words the river became a lake flooding an aproximated area of 10 km around of it
Indeed we had 3 kinds of floods...
1- In higher lands (serra), a very aggressive flow in the rivers, due to volume x gravity;
2- In Porto Alegre metropolitan area, the coming water spreading on plane low areas due the pouring of Lago Guaiba;
3- In southern cities 280km away from Porto Alegre, due to the limitation for draining in the exit channel to Atlantico.
Southern Brazil is under water and the Amazon River is drying up
In addition to the floods, there were also earthquakes in the city of Caxias do Sul
Excessive water flowing underground, not an actual earthquake
Not earthquakes, but tornados.
The earthquakes were reported this night, but they were like 2.5 degrees on the Richter scale
That's nothing, but because Caxias is in the mountains area, and many people died in landslides in the Galopolis district and also the neighboring city of Bento Gonçalves, any small shake makes perks afraid of landslides
The tornado was not in Caxias do Sul.
Tornados are "common" in the state. In 2010 a few blocks of the city of Canela were destroyed by a tornado.
Save Brasil
This looks like an apocalyptic movie, it's heartbreaking 😢
It is absolutely devastating what happened in my home country. My prayers go with them.
Prayers
Thank you
Civilians saved civilians. 90%of the rescuers are civilians with boats, jet ski, Jeep…
I's trully! The government is a SHAME!!!
That's a lie. Bolsonarista de m...
Omg.shocking.praying for all
I am Brazilian, just Imagine the whole Italy, now imagine it under water, this is the size of what happend to us, and no one is truly safe for now on.
Sadly, it is caming for us all, including you reading this now.
There’s a report of a rescuer with 3 kids. One of them asked the man to pick up a floating “doll”. Then the guy try to attend her, only to find out that the floating doll was a doomed human baby 😢
Praying for Brazil 🙏🙏🙏
Call Bless the people of Brazil how to put God bless you guys
2:05 Hope they save all the people and that horse 🐎 so smart Waiting for someone to rescue him 🕊️ sending prayers to all people Stay strong 🙏
Its a state of catastrophe for everyone involved in this earth upheaval.
Heartening to see the military involvement in this humanitarian disaster.
I personally am unable to comprehend how the people themselves and those who they love and cared about who may possibly be missing are travelling in this unprecedented situation.
It's crazy seeing what's happening in my home country. There's somebody that I talk to on Discord who actually lives in this part of Brazil and I hope he's okay.
Estamos unidos em um só coração. "Ninguém fica para trás "
This flooding is occurring every where around the world. Almost every country is going through flooding.
Sending my prayers to all the people of Brazil. Brazilian people are resilient and they will get through this hardship. My sister in law have her family in Brazil. R.I.P to all the lost lives and to all those love ones left behind.
Deepest healing 🤕 🩹prayers and condolences From US 🇺🇸 to Brazil.🌎✝️🛐😔🥺😭✨🕯️🕊️💖😿😥
No Rio grande do Sul, essa tragédia foi grande, nunca aconteceu isso em 80 anos .
Várias cidades foram alagadas.😢🇧🇷
Isso foi CASTIGO por terem votado em COMUNISTAS. Não tenho pena.
"Rio Grande" como o próprio nome diz, é uma região rica em água, rios e lagos. Foram décadas sem prestarem atenção num sistema de contenção e enchentes...o estado tem uma "escadaria" de rios e uma infraestrutura da década de 70.
Quantas leis ambientais o gov Eduardo Leite tirou? Mais de 400?
@@maxmentone5373 Isso mesmo, governo em favor dos empresarios e agora sofre as consequencias.....No documento, o órgão menciona diversas medidas adotadas por Leite que afrouxaram mais de 500 pontos do Código Ambiental gaúcho apenas em 2019, seu primeiro ano de governo, sob alegação de favorecer o ambiente de negócios.
À época, o tucano se referiu às modificações como “modernizações” da legislação. Foi nesse período que o governador levou adiante a ideia de criar o chamado ‘autolicenciamento’. Na prática, funciona assim: um empresário que deseja construir algo em área ambiental preenche uma declaração em que assegura estar atendendo a todos os requisitos ambientais. Menos de 48 horas depois, ele recebe o aval do governo estadual. Agora a situação está criada, tudo por causa da ambição e poder.
My heart went out to the athletes who are helping out with the relief operations. Years of training lost to a deluge!
God bless all of you...

Oder schlicht Klimaerwärmung 1°C höhere globale Temperaturen = 7% mehr latente Energie von Wasserdampf in der Atmosphäre, wir stehen erst an der unteren Schwelle solcher NOCH harmloser Ereignisse. Man wird staunen was allein in den nächsten 10 Jahren für tragödien zu sehen sein werden.
We do live on a water planet that is warming due to the earth's orbits crossing between the two energies of the Sun's OOrt cloud magnetosphere for the next millennium. Mystery of the 7 stars Jesus held in his hand to warn us.
There are corpses floating on 16 feet high waters here 😭💔 human, horses, dogs, pigs, cats, cow corpses 🐎🐕🦺🐖🐈⬛🐂 It’s an hecatomb! ⛈️😩☔️
Sadly, these extreme weather events ARE THE NEW NORMAL and will only continue to get worse with the ever growing sea level rise due to our polluting of the atmosphere, so the world must quickly take drastic measures to move away from fossil fuels because we have built our civilizations on stable climate patterns that are now a thing of the past.
You know that we still live in an ice age right?!
Obrigado pelas orações 🙏 que Deus abençoe cada um de vocês 🙏
Brazil needs more investment in flood containment and less money spent on things like bicycle paths and cheap scooters. Those might be popular with youth but do little for climate change. The climate has changed and now countries must address these problems with major infrastructure projects.
I see it the same way... prevention is the best remedy!🙏❤
No Brasil esses investimentos a prevenção não acontece por causa da corrupção e do mal governo.
climate changes. nothing humans can do about Sun & Magnetic field .. prepare, prepare, prepare!
You should mind your own business.
@@silviodeassis5728 ele falou a verdade
Heavens Above! This is terrible! Are floods common to this region?
This is why i don't keep anything high value in my house

Prayers and love to all Brazilian...
Tous les Brésiliens se sont engagés à aider le Rio Grande do Sul. Les avions cargo des forces armées apportent 167 tonnes de nourriture collectées dans différentes régions du pays et les Brésiliens vivant au Portugal ont collecté 20 tonnes de nourriture. L'armée de l'air portugaise était prête à acheminer la cargaison vers le Brésil.
La marine brésilienne embarque des fournitures et des équipements sur ses porte-hélicoptères et les livre à ceux qui restent bloqués.
What the Brazilian people are going through is regrettable, my prayers to all these suffering people who are already suffering at the hands of the Brazilian authorities, politicians, ministers, l4dr40$ 🇺🇸🤝🇧🇷😓 etc...
Heartbreaking!! Mother Nature.
Would suggest that our Globalist criminals have been at the old weather modification again, backfired in Dubai as they admitted it before the cover up started..

Wow not even seeing this in the news but on you tube. Scary i hope people and animals can get the food and help they need what a flooding. I worked in the pet business and lots of dog edible things cone from brazil. You do serve alot of the world as well as your own people. Please stay safe!
the countdown to climate chaos is over. this will happen ever more often from now on.... pray for brazil

with this magnitude of disaster I don't know how the government would do to get rid of all that water..almost 7ft deep...🙏🙏🙏
Catastrophe poor Brazil I'm so sorry for you.❤
Praying for Brazil .
It has been a week... why does it take too long for the water to subside?
It doesn't stop raining
The channel where all this water goes to the sea is extremely short for such a large amount of water.
is still raining in the region, and there is nowhere for the water to flow, this region is at sea level, the rivers flow into a lake that is above capacity so the whole basin is flooded. water is flowing to the ocean but at a very slow pace.
It Will take months. Too much water.
The huge Lagoa dos Patos acts more like a reservoir of all this water instead of emptying it away because of its narrow exit as someone has already pointed out. Moreover, the huge distance between both points (almost 300 Km) makes it difficult for all this water to move forward. The variable prevailing winds play an important role too, because it pushes the lake's water to one direction or another, according to its ever-changing direction.
God reigns through Christ,may Jesus's grace locate us all
Thats heartbreaking, this will affect the entire world, one way or another 😢😢
I live in Rio Grande do Sul state. The scenario looks like worst than a war, cause in a war is possible to see some building, even destroyed, here, neighter terrains left.
Oh God have mercy. Safe Brazil
Where is Brazil’s foreign allies 🇷🇺 🇮🇳 🇨🇳 🇿🇦 , why aren’t any of the BRICS countries assisting their partners?🤷🏻♂️
Eles estão ajudando sim você está mentindo!
@@nagielcristiano6025 prove it. It’s easy to say they are helping but where’s the proof?🤷🏻♂️ I don’t see any of that proof in this video. All I see is Brazilian military doing the humanitarian aid efforts and local agencies🧐. I know how emergency workers look from those countries, especially the Chinese.🧐
China and Russia have already sent humanitarian aid
If I sent a sandwich across that counts as humanitarian aid
Honestly as a Brazilian person the international help has kinda been disappointing. Expected partners like Uruguay, Argentina, and Portugal are sending help. But several other countries that Brazil has helped before in other disasters didn’t. But I didn’t expect much from BRICS, because it’s a purely economic block, when it comes to military allies Brazil is 99% times on the U.S side, and has a lot of missions in NATO countries.
LORD PLS HELP THEM 🙏

Yep seems like their gov revoked over 400 environmental laws - sad.
Praying for Brazil. 🙏❤️
This is so sad, hope it gets better soon
Only this single state of the federation is larger (in territory) than the United Kingdom. Economically developed, in relation to other parts of Brazil. Many descendants of Europeans since Rio Grande do Sul, having a colder climate, attracted many Europeans (Italians and Germans). Many people who live in tall buildings and houses refuse to leave their properties for fear of the numerous robberies that are already occurring.
The most frightening thing will be the robbery that politicians will commit due to this catastrophe, since we have highly corrupt rulers in power, whom we already know from other times. Many people will profit from this sad episode.
We need to take better care of each other, this world is changing quick.
Semoga Yang maha kuasa melindungi hamba-nya. Semoga keadaannya cepat pulih kembali semula 🙏 ini video kami file untuk pelajaran bagi kami yang tinggal dekat 4 gunung dan dekat 3 Danau dan dekat 2 sungai besar diDesa Desa'polosok diBali Indonesia
“Dirty water filled with debris and dead animals” that’s a bit insensitive to put literal drowned animals in the same sentence as debris in the flood water. I’d be more sad about the dead animals than worried about the fact that the water is filled with debris…
It's just a fact. Sad but true. Humans bodies, too. Right there.
Lord Jesus Christ, rescue these dear people and animals to safety; let their life be returned to normalcy asap. In Jesus Name, Amen. God have mercy on Brazil.
