Hope for the best for people of Shenzhen and China, as best a best that can be salvaged in this tragedy.
May every single soul that can be rescued be rescued and the survivors receive the warmest and most caring support and rehabilitation.

@AndrewJin let us know when the factor leaders get arrested or committed suicide. Chinese laws have been passed with regards to industrial safety but some factory managers / owners still do not give a shit about it.

Time to bring back a bullet to the head. A cure for headache.

One of the company managers has been already arrested.
I'm sure when the major investigation begins, more will be, including some officers.

SHENZHEN - One man was pulled out alive early Wednesday morning more than 60 hours after a landslide hit an industrial park in the southern city of Shenzhen on Sunday.

The 19-year-old survivor, named Tian Zeming, was rescued by a detachment of the armed police around 6:30 a.m. and rushed to the Guangming New District Central Hospital.

He is in stable condition and has been taken to the operating room to receive a surgical debridement, said Wang Guangming, president of the hospital.

Rescuers and armed police identified the exact location of Tian at 1 am on Wednesday, and found him at 3:30 am.

Firefighters had to squeeze into the narrow room around Tian and remove the debris by hands, said Zhang Yabin, an armed police participating in the rescue.

Before he was pulled out, Tian had been given oxygen and received intravenous infusion, Zhang said.

The reason is they put such a gigantic mud mountain only 1km from residential area and ignored the warning from the local environmental protection bureau, and no action was taken from the local government to clear this dangerous mud mountain. Some local officers will have a tough Chinese new year.

This idea of dumping loose soil right next to a large city was madness. Is Shenzhen a high rainfall zone? Are rains at this time unseasonal?

Prayers for the deceased and their families.

It is, but now not the very rain season, but it is raining these days.
that's why those company owners and local officers can not escape legal sanction.
Some have already be arrested. The "potential connection" between the company and local officers will stir a political earthquake in Shenzhen. The coming Chinese new year will be tough for them.

Good. Culprits must be punished.

heheh...tongue in cheek with that. You know what I meant by that statement.

But the managers responsible have been arrested so they will not be coming to America.

I still hope that more survivors will be found.

Shenzhen landslide man-made event, not natural disaster

An investigation team has concluded that the landslide in Shenzhen was a safety accident, not a natural hazard, and the local government apologized to victims during a news conference on Friday.

Sunday's landslide buried or damaged 33 buildings in Shenzhen's Guangming New District and led to the bursting of a major gas pipeline in nearby region, cutting off the gas supply to neighboring Hong Kong.

As of Friday morning, 75 people remained missing, only one survivor had been rescued－on Wednesday morning－and four bodies had been found.

"The special investigation team of the State Council has determined that the landslide was the result of the collapse of a mountain of construction waste, not of the mountainside, which means that this was a safety accident instead of a natural disaster," Ma Xingrui, Party chief of Shenzhen said at the news conference.

"On behalf of the city Party committee and the city government, I strongly support the findings of the investigation team, and I promise that we will actively cooperate with further investigations," he said.

Ma said the local government will determine who is responsible and will apologize to all victims.

According to an earlier Global Times report, the construction waste was piled 100 meters high before the accident took place.

The site, operated by the Shenzhen LvWei Property Manage Co, is one of eight temporary construction waste storage sites in Shenzhen.

According to an AFP report, the Guangming New District government had been aware of improper piling of soil at the storage site and had urged action as early as July.

In an announcement dated July 10, officials said work at the site was not being performed according to approved plans, and they ordered the Hongao Construction Waste Dump to "speed up" work to bring its operations into line.

China Daily was unable to reach the company for comment.

Any action taken against responsible parties?

Company owners already arrested, the next will be arresting local officers.

 

[Abotani]

This is horrific, just one survivor so far?
Good to see those responsible get arrested.

Sadly, only one so far.
The mud layer is too sick, though lives were detected by life sensors.
Local officers are unforgivable for their crime of dereliction of duty.
