One person is missing and another four people were injured after a massive landslide on the north side of the Naning River, a tributary of the Yangtze River, by Wu Mountain near Chongqing. The landslide is visible from several kilometers away, carving out a large section of the mountain.
The landslide caused a massive wave that capsized 21 boats moored at a nearby harbor, while another 21 boats drifted away after being knocked free of their restraints. The China National Search and Rescue Center reported that 13 boats, all small-scale watercraft and mostly fishing vessels, sank in the incident.
A preliminary search showed there were no people on board the anchored ships at the time of the landslide. The resulting wave carried away one person who remains unaccounted for. The Yangtze River Navigational Affairs Administration reported that four other people were injured, one of whom remains in critical condition.
