A landslide occurred at an industrial park in Shenzhen, in South China’s Guangdong Province on Sunday.
There are 91 still missing, 33 building collapsed or buried. Some live signals are detected.
There are now nearly 3 thousand rescuers digging through silt and rubble at the industrial park.
Rescue officials have held their fourth news conference to give updates on the rescue condition.
A group of experts specializing in 15 fields, including geology, construction, and gas engineering, have been sent to the site to offer technical support. 172 heavy machines have joined the excavation operation. Monitoring stations have been established to keep a 24-hour eye on the stability of structures.
The landslide covered 380,000 square meters in silt 10 meters deep. Two checkpoints have been established to register and verify information on the missing people.
The 900 people evacuated after the landslide are staying in temporary settlements at a nearby sports center, community workstation and hospital.
PetroChina, owner of China’s major West-to-East natural gas pipeline that exploded as the landslide hit, said it has emptied the 400-meter-long ruptured pipe and is building a temporary replacement.
