“We never thought it could be unsafe”, the man said.

The landslide eventually blanketed an area of 380,000 sq m (455,000 sq yards) – the equivalent of about 50 football fields.

“The pile was too big, the pile was too steep, leading to instability and collapse”, the ministry said, adding that the original, natural hill remained intact.

State media reported that the New Guangming District government identified problems with the mountain of soil months earlier.
