Over 91 people are missing after a landslide wiped out 33 buildings in southern Chinese city of Shenzen on Sunday.
Dramatic video footage shows multi-storey buildings crumbling like a pack of cards at the Hengtaiyu industrial park in the city's northwestern Guangming New District.
The landslide was caused by the build-up of waste construction mud in the vicinity, which collapsed sending a river of mud that ran wild bringing down everything in its course.
14 people had been rescued and more than 900 people had been evacuated from the site.
Industrial accidents have been on raise in China prompting many to ask questions about safety standards following three decades of rapid economic growth.
