A second landslide halted rescue efforts, state media reported, with the risk of more collapses very high due to the large collapsed area. An avalanche of rock and soil could be seen in CCTV footage falling from one side of the mountain into the mine pit, burying a number of excavators and dump trucks.
Three hundred rescue workers were using heavy machinery and rescue dogs in their search for the miners, state media said.
