Landslide in China buries 40 people during worst flooding in 50 years

Flooding in western China has triggered a landslide that buried up to 40 people and destroyed a high-profile memorial to a devastating 2008 earthquake.

There was no immediate word on the chances of survival for the 30 to 40 people buried in the city of Dujiangyan, but rescue workers with search dogs have rushed to the area, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
