Man saved after three days spent buried alive after China's landslide

Waste mudslide covers buildings in China’s latest industrial disaster

A man was pulled out alive from rubble in a southern Chinese city yesterday, more than 60 hours after a waste heap collapsed and buried dozens of buildings in mud and construction debris, state media said.

Tian Zeming, who was found at 3.30am local time was in a coherent state, but his legs had been crushed in Sunday’s landslide at an industrial park in Shenzhen, a boomtown near Hong Kong.
