at 6:40 most of the vessels were reported to have been vacated.\u00a0 Nonetheless one person is reported missing and a further four were injured.<\/p>\n<p>The landslide is intriguing.\u00a0 The images seem to show a low river level (possibly the river level is being drawn down in preparation for the rainy season?) and there is no mention of a rainfall trigger.\u00a0 The materials forming the landslide scar seem to be fine-grained and quite homogeneous.\u00a0 The fortunate element is that the landslide did not affect the houses located nearby.<\/p>\n<p>The site of the landslide is only 110 km upstream of the Three Gorges Dam, such that the river level has been elevated by the impoundment of the reservoir.\u00a0 This case is likely to further raise fears of the potential for significant landslides on the banks of the lake.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content
