Yet another disaster has hit the country of China, and this time, it has killed one person and left as many as 76 people missing.

An enormous landslide buried parts of Shenzhen in southern China midday Sunday, near the Hong Kong border. Some 1,500 people rushed to help dig out buildings that were swallowed by the mass of mud – some which were believed to still contain people at the time of the disaster, though many had been moved away from the scene before the slide began.
