Summary

Description	English: On September 11, 2022, a dam collapsed at a diamond mine in Jagersfontein, South Africa, and released a watery mixture of mining waste known as tailings. The sludge poured across the landscape, destroying homes, inundating rivers and grazing land, and injuring dozens. The Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 acquired the image on September 10, the day before the dam collapse.
