      <description>Images show open air shooting over heavily dense community in West Rio de Janeiro made by a the police helicopter in a hunt operation to kill drug dealer. Building and homes was affected. Human Rights Commission declared that condemns the conduct. Action occurred in 2012 aimed to arrest the dealer nicknamed &quot;mathematician&quot;.

Images from the cameras of the police helicopter obtained by Fantastic ( sunday's night brazilian show ) shows the agents shooting from the aircraft at a height between 20 and 40 meters. Houses and buildings were hit on the hunt. Security experts condemns the operation, which was classified by the local Police Chief, chief Martha Rocha, as &quot;disproportionate&quot;.

No innocent civilians died in the action, because Rio de Janeiro poor communities have curfews imposed by criminals at night.

In the action, you can see other criminals running close to the car where the drug dealer lies dead with weapons in their hands, shooting the helicopter several times.

The favela's region is called &quot;gaza strip&quot; because it is between 2 distinct favelas where distinct drug dealers and cartels shot each other at night, with the region right in the middle.</description>

      <description>A shocking video of Rio de Janeiro police in a helicopter firing on a 
moving car in a populous slum has sparked a probe. Footage emerged of 
the high-octane chase a year after it happened, raising concerns over 
the excessive use of police force.

On May 11, 2012, an operation took place in a slum in Rio de Janeiro, which killed the drug baron M'arcio Jos'e Sabino Pereira, aka Matem'atico (Mathematician). On May 5, 2013, the footage was nation-wide broadcast on the TV program 'Fant'astico', turning the midia attention to the case due to the high risk the people in that area were put to.</description>

      <title>Rio: Police Probe Favela Helicopter Shoot-Out</title>

      <description>An inquiry is launched to find out whether Brazilian police used excessive force during the pursuit of a suspected drug dealer.An investigation has been opened into a shoot-out last year in which Brazilian police fired from a helicopter at an accused drug trafficker.

They were chasing him through a favela - a shanty town or slum - in Rio de Janeiro.

Inquiries into the shooting began after video of the shooting, which took place in May last year, appeared on national television on Sunday.

It started after police monitoring one of Rio's most wanted alleged drug traffickers, Marcio &quot;Mathematician&quot; Pereira, told a police helicopter they believed Pereira could be found in the Korea area, in Rio's West zone.

The suspect was alleged to be running a drug trafficking ring through four different favelas in one of the most populous regions of Rio.

Police reportedly spotted a man who fitted the description of the wanted man and the police helicopter then descended to an altitude from which it could give chase.

It was from there that they opened fire, shooting several rounds while chasing the speeding car.

The car eventually halted and was surrounded by people in the area.

Although Pereira managed to escape, he was found dead in a parked car the next day.

Brazilian authorities have now decided to look into the helicopter chase to see if excessive force was used in the pursuit of the suspect.

All eyes are on Rio in the run-up to a host of world events beginning with Pope Francis' visit for World Youth Day in July, followed by the 2014 World Cup, and - perhaps the city's biggest test yet - the 2016 Summer Olympics.

      <title>Sub discovers signs of legendary Atlantis</title>

      <description>A large mass of granite has been found on the seabed off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, suggesting a continent may have existed in the Atlantic Ocean, the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology and the Brazilian government announced.

A Brazilian official said the discovery of the granite - which normally forms only on dry land - is strong evidence that a continent used to exist in the area where the legendary island of Atlantis, mentioned in antiquity by Plato in his philosophical dialogues, was supposedly located.

According to legend, the island, host to a highly developed civilization, sunk into the sea around 12,000 years ago. No trace of it has ever been found.

The finding was made using a Shinkai 6500 manned submersible operated by the Japanese agency. The seabed where the granite mass was discovered is estimated to have sunk into the sea several tens of million years ago. No man-made structures have been found there.

It is the first time such research using a manned submersible has been conducted in the South Atlantic. In late April, the agency used the device to explore the Rio Grande Rise, a seabed more than 1,000 km southeast of Rio de Janeiro. At a depth of 910 meters, it found a rock cliff around 10 meters in height and breadth.

After analyzing video data, the agency concluded it was granite. Also discovered in the area around it was a large volume of quartz sand - which is also not formed in the sea. The bedrock is believed to consist mainly of basalt rock.

The rise itself stretches around 1,000 km at the widest point, and is considered part of the continent left behind when South America and Africa split apart more than 100 million years ago. The agency said it assumes the area was above sea level until about 50 million years ago but became submerged over a period spanning several million years, based on fossils found in the nearby seabed and other data.

According to the agency, the Rio Grande Rise is the only plausible area that could possibly have been dry land in the past.

Despite the latest discovery, however, experts remained cautious about jumping to conclusions about Atlantis.

Shinichi Kawakami, a professor at Gifu University versed in planetary sciences, said the granite could have been a part of a big continent before it separated into what is now Africa and South America.

&quot;South America and Africa used to be a huge, unified continent. The area in question may have been left in water as the continent was separated in line with the movements of plates,&quot; he said.

Kawakami said researchers must look further into the composition of the granite and see if it matches the granite now found in Africa or South America.

&quot;The concept of Atlantis came way before geology of the modern age was established. We should not jump to the Atlantis (conclusion) right away,&quot; he said.

      <title>Japanese Researchers Find Possible Lost Continent in Atlantic Ocean</title>
      <pubDate>Wed, 08 May 2013 13:07:52 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>Japanese researchers find granite on seabed in the Atlantic Ocean, suggesting a continent may have once existed off the coast of Brazil.


A large slab of granite has been found deep in the Atlantic Ocean, Japanese researchers said on Tuesday (May 7), suggesting a continent may have once existed off the coast of Brazil.

A team led by the Japan Agency For Marine-Earth Science And Technology (JAMSTEC) found the 10-metre high by 10-metre wide rock 'cliff' more than 2,950 feet under the ocean. They were conducting a survey with its deep-sea submersible in the Rio Grande Rise, part of the southwest Atlantic basin some 745 miles southeast of Rio de Janeiro.

Granite is usually only found on land, and researchers say its presence on the seabed may be evidence of a continental land-mass that was swallowed by the waves at some point in the distant past. A large volume of quartz sand, which is also not formed at sea, was found around the granite slab.

In about 360 BC, the Greek thinker Plato wrote that an ancient warlike civilization -- Atlantis -- had once existed somewhere in the Atlantic, before sinking into the sea in a single night and day.

But academics and writers have argued its real submerged location may be anywhere from the Mediterranean to Antarctica -- with others suggesting the tale was merely a myth.</description>
