Authorities in Shenzhen have held a ninth press conference to update the search and rescue effort as well as detail the steps being taken to avoid any possible secondary disasters from additional mudslides or dangerous chemicals.
The two officials said additional engineering technicians and excavators have been deployed in the search and rescue operation. They also said rescue workers have carefully searched areas where several people were reportedly trapped in containers under the landslide but found nothing. Meanwhile, monitoring has been increased for buildings that could store dangerous chemicals.
75 people remain missing after Sunday's massive landslide. One survivor was rescued on Wednesday morning, while four bodies have so far been recovered.
Two of the 17 injured have been discharged from hospitals. More than five thousand rescuers -- with over seven hundred excavators and bulldozers -- are still searching through the mud and rubble for signs of life. A mountain of construction waste collapsed on the Heng-tai-yu industrial park in Shenzhen's Guang-ming New district on Sunday, burying or damaging 33 buildings.
