Sliding Into Disaster
 
Share

On September 9, a rescuer tries to communicate with people trapped under rubble in Tashan Mine, north China's Shanxi Province, after a deadly mudslide caused by stored ore dregs that were loosened by torrential rain.

Xinhua News Agency quoted sources with the rescue headquarters as saying that the accident was initially attributed to the illegal operation of the unlicensed Tashan Mine and the excessive storage of waste iron ore dregs.

The accident had claimed 151 lives by September 11.
