Rescuers are trying to save about 35 workers who have been buried under massive rocks and debris at the site of a hydroelectricity project in Fujian province. The accident happened Sunday morning, and is believed to be the result of a landslide. Reports reaching here suggest that chances of rescuing most of the workers, trapped at the site in a mountainous area of Taining county are slim. An estimated 100,000 cubic meters of mud and rock came tumbling down from a nearby hillock, burying the construction site. Trapped workers were apparently asleep at 4.46 am when the landslide buried their dormitory and an office building, reports said. So far, rescuers have been able to save seven workers.
