At least 91 people were missing after a huge mound of
mud and construction waste collapsed at a business park in southern
China and buried 33 buildings in the country's latest industrial
disaster.
Premier Li Keqiang ordered an official
investigation into Sunday's landslide in the southern boomtown of
Shenzhen, just across the border from Hong Kong, which comes four months
after huge chemical blasts at the northern port of Tianjin killed more
than 160 people.
The mudslide smashed into
multi-storey buildings at the Hengtaiyu industrial park in the city's
northwestern Guangming New District, toppling them in collisions that
sent rivers of earth skyward
