A rain-triggered mud-rock flow in north China's Shanxi Province caused the
collapse of a warehouse holding waste ore dregs today, killing one and trapping
others, according to the local government.
The accident occurred around 8
a.m. in a warehouse of the Tashan Mine in Xiangfen County, Linfen City, which
has been soaked by torrential rain.
One person was killed at the scene and
another was injured.
A Xinhua reporter said more people were trapped
underneath the structure but a specific figure was not immediately
available.
A rescue team of more than 300 local police and villagers were
searching through the rubble.
