On May 8th, a landslide occurred at the site of a future hydropower plant in Taining county of the Fujian province in China; 41 workers were unaccounted for.
The landslide occurred early in the morning while most of the construction workers were sleeping and buried their dormitory under more than 100,000 cubic meters of rock and mud. In addition, over a dozen workers were hospitalized but in stable condition. It is believed that the landslide was caused by heavy rainfall which has been 35% higher than average this year in the Fujian region. The Chinese government is devoting all available resources to aid the workers and within hours of the event, hundreds of rescue workers were on the scene with dogs, specialized equipment, and excavators.
As of three days after this disaster, 35 workers have been confirmed dead and one worker is still unaccounted for. Most of the hospitalized workers have been discharged. As the search continues for the final worker, DNA analysis is being used to identify the victims.
