Rescuers are ready to dynamite Tangjiashan barrier lake.
After two blasts, the level of the barrier lake decreased by a meter.
Helicopters carrying equipment to blast the sides of the barrier lake, which is 3 km long, 100 meters wide and 9 meters deep, have been pressed into service.
A landslide dam located in the Huanghe upriver was formed by two landslides, then formed the barrier lake which is core area of national natural protection now.
Another 45,000 people were evacuated and thousands of soldiers converged on the area to dig out survivors and blast away debris that had created a barrier lake several kilometres long.
The landslides that occurred at around midnight were caused by a barrier lake on the Bailong river, which is posing another serious threat to the people in the area.
Entering Sun Jia Village, the scenery changed completely and the eyes were all yellow. The trees on both sides should have been new technology buds. They all died after being flooded by the barrier lake.
