Race Against Time: 16 Still Missing After Gansu Landslide Kills 33

A landslide in northwestern Gansu on July 7 buried 33 people. Rescue teams have freed 17, but 16 remain trapped. Survivors trapped under debris face a critical window: odds of survival drop sharply after 72 hours as air pockets collapse. Authorities must also watch for secondary slides on the waterlogged slopes that could halt rescue efforts.
