A huge search and rescue operation has failed to locate any survivors of a Tibetan landslide that buried 83 mine workers under 2 million cubic metres of earth.
Search teams using sniffer dogs and radar combed the mountainside throughout the night after a three-kilometre section of land buried a copper mine workers' camp in Maizhokunggar county, east of Tibetan capital Lhasa.
After a day of searching, Chinese officials made the grim announcement that no survivors had been found at the suite of the landslide, which struck about 6:00am Friday (local time).

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
