Man Found Alive After More Than 60 Hours in China Landslide

A migrant worker was pulled out alive Wednesday after he was buried for more than 60 hours in a massive landslide on Dec. 22 that swept through part of a major manufacturing city in southern China.

Tian Zeming was rescued around dawn on Wednesday. More than 70 people are still missing from the landslide that happened Sunday when a mountain of construction waste material and mud collapsed and flowed into an industrial park in Shenzhen.

"The survivor had a very feeble voice and pulse when he was found alive buried under debris, and now he's undergoing further checks," Dr. Wang Yiguo told a news conference in Shenzhen, according to a transcript posted by the district government that covers the area.
