Dead bodies of the four farmers who were buried 10 meters deep from the
ground due to a landslide in northwest China's Shaanxi Province were found on
Saturday.
According to local sources, the landslide happened around 1:00 p.m Friday
when five farmers from Majuangou Village of Hengshan County were building a
reservoir dam. Only one of them escaped the mishap.
Fellow villagers walked 30 km of the mountainous road to report to the
township government. A rescue team consisting of over 600 people rushed to the
site of the accident to search for the buried.
The dead bodies of the villagers were found around 2:00 a.m. on Saturday,
