Giant rock dislodges in Brazil canyon, killing at least 6, injuring several others

A giant rock dislodged from a scenic canyon in southern Brazil, smashing into three boats, killing at least six people and leaving nine injured Saturday.

In the horrific scene, captured on video, boaters scream as they watched a large slab of rock fall from a canyon onto boats cruising the lake near Capitolio, a city in Minas Gerais state.

Two of the boats were directly hit by the falling stone, but authorities were able to rescue 24 people from those vessels, according to Reuters. Another 20 people are believed to be missing.

At least one person was in serious condition with head and facial injuries, while others had broken bones, according to the report.
