Re: Landslide Buries a Section of China!
State media has reported at least 8 deaths and a further 34 people missing. An emergency warning had been issued before the landslide, after a community worker noticed scattered falling rocks around 8 a.m. local time. Authorities had ordered more than 60 residents to evacuate, but the landslide struck at 9 a.m., before the evacuation could be fully completed. The landslide was triggered by rain and occurred near a section of the Wujiang River, which cuts through karst mountains with small towns and terraces built along the riverside.  · |

Re: Landslide Buries a Section of China!
They announced today they will resort to dynamite blasting to "Rescue" some of the victims, because they are under huge boulders. I'm sure that will be successful.  Look at how green and clear the river is. The farther upstream you travel in China, the better the water looks. This must be WAY UP in the mountains.  |
