Firefighters carry a body after a landslide over around 60 houses at Vicoso Jardim neighborhood in Niteroi near Rio de Janeiro April 9, 2010. Rescue workers using heavy machinery dug for bodies and survivors on Thursday after a torrent of mud dislodged by heavy rain ravaged a hillside slum near Rio de Janeiro, burying dozens of residents.
The worst rains in 40 years, which started on Monday, triggered close to 200 mudslides that pulverized shacks in hillside communities, killing at least 180 people and leaving thousands homeless in and around Brazil's second-biggest city.
