Myanmar landslide buries over 50 Miners

(FASTNEWS|COLOMBO) – At least 54 jade miners are feared to have died after they were buried in mud while sleeping in northern Myanmar.

Police said the landslide in Kachin state was so great it created a “mud lake” that engulfed the workers’ living quarters along with some 40 vehicles.

Landslides caused by jade mining, an industry with few regulations, kill dozens in Myanmar every year.
