Terrifying Landslide Shoves Cars Aside Like Children apos;s Toys In China
This is the horrific moment a landslide of mud and water pushes dozens of cars and trucks out of the way in southern China.
At least 49 people have died and 14 others are missing since heavy rainfall began earlier this month, authorities said today.
Floods, landslides and mudslides triggered by the downpours have affected more than 4.5 million people in eight provinces.
China's disaster reduction committee said more than 7,000 houses have collapsed and more than 300,000 people have been evacuated as flood waters reached as high as two metres (6.5 feet) in some areas.
