A landslide in southwestern China has buried nearly 60 people.
Officials say three survivors have been pulled out from under the rocks while two bodies have been found.
Fifty mine workers and nine residents were initially believed to have been buried by the landslide.

The landslide happened in a mountainous area of Wulong County.
An official for the Chongqing government said rescue workers, doctors and digging equipment are at the scene to begin rescue efforts.
