A landslide derailed a train in eastern China Sunday, killing 19 people and hurting an estimated 70 more. http://www.aolnews.com/world/article/train-hit-by-landslide-derails-in-china-kills-19/19488332?icid=main|main|dl1|link6|http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aolnews.com%2Fworld%2Farticle%2Ftrain-hit-by-landslide-derails-in-china-kills-19%2F19488332
Initial reports had put the death toll at eight, but then responders recovered more bodies within the wreckage of the train’s cars. The accident took place not far from Fuzhou, a city in the eastern part of the Jiangxi province, which is a mountainous area.
The train had been en route to Guilin, a tourist spot, when heavy rains triggered the landslide. Mud and dirt buried the tracks, and the train derailed when it hit the newly created barrier.
Roughly 2,000 responders — from firefighter to police to soldiers — participated in the rescue effort.
