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).
