On Sunday, an enormous pile of excavated soil and other construction waste crashed down on an industrial park in Shenzhen, China, in a landslide burying dozens of buildings, and leaving more than 90 people listed as missing.
Hundreds of rescue workers arrived to search for survivors, reportedly finding at least seven so far.
