The landslide took place at a local iron mine in Loufan county in the suburbs of the Shanxi provincial capital Taiyuan on 1 August 2008. Initially, the local authorities attempted to cover up the causes of the disaster by blaming the ‘bad weather’, and deliberately concealed the real number of casualties.
