A total of 47 villagers from 18 households in the “Xiaoluo block” of Liangshui Village were buried. As of the morning of the 23rd, they had been found. Eleven of the people buried were found, but none showed signs of life. In order to avoid the expansion of the disaster, residents of villages adjacent to the mountain have been relocated. However, Yunnan is experiencing sub-zero snowfall at this time, and the collapse itself is unstable. Risky excavation may cause another mountain collapse, making search and rescue more urgent and difficult. All pretty grim. There is currently no investigation into the cause of the landslide, but residents in Zhenxiong County have reported that in recent years, problems such as house cracking have often occurred due to local coal mining operations, and it is suspected that the collapse is related to the coal mine.
