In Shenzhen [wikipedia.org] (which lies directly north of Hong Kong), a mound of soil and construction waste, piled against the side of a hill, gave way on Sunday. Official reports say that 91 people are missing after the disaster. At least 33 buildings were damaged.

A major gas pipeline in the area exploded at around the same time. The local government attributed the explosion to the landslide.
