A man who was buried alive in a landslide in an area of Shenzhen in China, was found alive 67 hours later, according to global reports. More than 70 others are still missing.
On Wednesday, stories from survivors of the landslide began to emerge.
State broadcaster CCTV reported in that Tian after underwent surgery for a broken hand & on his foot, which had been wedged against a door panel. He was unresponsive after being rescued and later pronounced dead by doctors.
Firefighters had to squeeze into a narrow room around Mr Tian and pull debris out by hand, rescuer Zhang Yabin told Xinhua.
Chinese teams have pulled a survivor out of rubble where he had been trapped for more than two-and-a-half days following a landslide of mud and construction waste that buried dozens of building at a southern industrial park.
A nearby section of the West-to-East natural gas pipeline exploded after the landslide struck the Hengtaiyu industrial park on December 20, causing more than 100,000 square meters of debris.
Tian was among the previously reported 76 missing in the landslide.
Hospital boss Wang Guangming said Tian was in stable condition, but extremely weak, dehydrated and with several soft tissue injuries and multiple fractures, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.
Zhang Hu, a city deputy mayor, said four bodies had so far been found and he pledged to continue with the search operation.
CNN’s Matt Rivers and Yuli Yang reported from Shenzhen, Katie Hunt and Tiffany Ap wrote and reported from Hong Kong, Shen Lu reported from Beijing.
Flanked by police, reporters could observe military posts with computers and disease control stations set up for the rescue workers.
In fact, the local government had only earlier this year identified that the large scale dumping happening by the mountain slope could end up in a catastrophe.
Officials said he was lucky to be alive because the building’s wall held firm.
