First victim pulled out two days after Shenzhen landslide

The first victim has been pulled from the wreckage in Shenzhen, China after a massive landslide struck the city on Sunday.

Close to 3,000 people were part of the massive rescue effort after a landslide in south China, state media reported.

A man-made pile of construction waste and trash collapsed on buildings in an industrial park in Shenzhen, a city in Guangdong province.

At least 16 people were still hospitalized, three in serious condition, according to Shenzhen's emergency response office.

Video from the scene showed rescue workers, wearing orange clothes and hardhats, using heavy machinery and their hands to clear debris. Officials set up a rescue command center and three treatment shelters on site.
