GA huge pile of construction wast collapsed and hit on buildings in Shenzhen, China. Under the landslide, more than 80 people were missing, said Chinese media. 

I watched the incident on TV. The pile of waste was so big and that was almost a mountain. It looked like a massive natural disaster, but it was a man-made disaster. The city has been growing rapidly. The waste came from subway construction sites in the city.

Death Tall 39 in Hiroshima

Landslides in Hiroshima left 39 people dead while 51 people are still missing, according to the police. 

I watched a news show and it said that the soil of the disaster areas' surface is mainly masado. That kind of soli can absorb rainwater easily compare to others. And after holding enough water, the soil would slip down unexpectedly. 

Rescue workers are struggling to help victims because the bad conditions which prevent using heavy machines.
