00:04An extreme outbreak occurred in Hanjia Street, Pengshui County, Chongqing, China at 9:00 AM yesterday.
00:09Severe landslide tragedy
00:12Vast mountain slopes interspersed with astonishingly large boulders fell from the sky.
00:15This led to the location along the gallery road on the banks of the Wujiang River.
00:17Multiple residential buildings, ranging from 5 to 8 stories high, collapsed one after another like dominoes.
00:22Along with passing vehicles, they were propelled directly into the Wujiang River by the terrifying impact.
00:27The disaster area was terrifying, like the end of the world.
00:30So far, the disaster has claimed 8 lives.
00:33In addition, the fate of 34 people remains unknown.
00:35The report described a sound resembling an explosion being heard at the scene at the time of the incident.
00:40This sparked speculation among local residents that an explosion at a nearby fireworks display might have occurred.
00:45Causes forest tilting
00:46Later, experts clarified that the landslide was mainly caused by the long-term erosion of the shelter.
00:51Air weathering and fragmentation
00:53Adding to the recent high temperatures that have consistently exceeded 40 degrees Celsius, along with alternating periods of rain...
00:57The collapse was caused by the shrinkage and deformation of the bunker.
01:01Chinese President Xi Jinping has instructed that all efforts be made to treat the injured.
01:05And prevent secondary disasters
01:07Extensive online exposure after the disaster
01:09The footage captured by terrified bystanders was truly horrifying.
01:18People took horrified photos of the landslide.
01:20The moment when a giant rock crushed the debt building
01:23The billowing dust seemed like the end of the world.
01:27This is not an ordinary mud and stone workshop
01:29When the dust settled, everyone present was even more dumbfounded.
01:32A boulder at least five stories high lay on the community road.
01:37Each of the large rocks was at least as big as a large truck.
01:40Needless to say, the weight of the boulder was immense.
01:43Especially the gravitational acceleration when falling from a height
01:45After crushing the people's debt, mudslides rushed into the Wujiang River.
01:48Looking back from a high angle on the opposite bank of the Wujiang River
01:50The scene of the landslide was even more terrifying.
01:53It's about five to eight stories high.
01:57So, the buildings here...
01:58Currently, the portion of the landslide area
02:00The tree hole structure has been completely washed away.
02:04Then we learned that someone had been buried.
02:06They have already installed radio wave radar and aperture radar.
02:08The entire site is monitored around the clock and in all aspects.
02:11To prevent self-injury caused by secondary collapse
02:13That is, preventing falling rocks.
02:15Some people restored the footage from their dashcams.
02:17Before the severe landslide, this main street in the residential and commercial district was...
02:21The crowds came and went
02:22However, please note
02:23The store with the orange signboard for custom wardrobes can be seen on the right.
02:26Keep going
02:27Both sides are five to eight-story buildings.
02:30Until you see this small steel furniture wholesale store on your left
02:34However, the post-disaster comparison images show...
02:37The buildings behind the furniture store were almost all crushed by the boulders.
02:41The red clay on the surface of the mountain is completely exposed.
02:43There is a risk of further collapse.
02:46From the perspective of the other side
02:47It is even more conceivable
02:48I just saw the comparison of the footage before and after the incident.
02:51Under the mud and rubble
02:53There are likely still many lives waiting to be rescued.
02:55800 people were mobilized to participate in the rescue.
02:58Ten people have been confirmed to have been rescued.
03:00These 10 people showed vital signs.
03:02So, within a 1000-meter radius of us...
03:05All 1,100 people were evacuated.
03:07So the first step
03:08First and foremost, saving lives is the most important thing.
03:09We can see on site
03:10A large number of excavators are working.
03:13Clean up the collapsed rocks.
03:15And only as a last resort will the boulder be blown up.
03:19Natural disasters can catch people off guard.
03:21Search and rescue teams are accelerating their mobilization efforts.
03:23Accelerate the rescue of more survivors from under the mudslide
