I don't know how we missed this event earlier this year. Terrible.

Search for female taxi driver whose car vanished from GPS system at location of mystery landslide

Nearly one thousand people are searching this morning for survivors buried under a mysterious landslide that has covered a 300-metre stretch of a motorway in Taiwan.

At least two people in two separate vehicles are believed to be buried under the tons of rock and earth after the landslide on Sunday afternoon near Keelung.

One of the missing was a 55-year-old female taxi driver whose surname is Lin. Her car vanished from her company's global positioning system almost exactly at the location of the landslide, Taiwanese reports said.

Egads. Now that's bad luck for you. The whole hill moved sideways a bit. How remarkable that the top remained essentially as-is.

Only from that angle, from the other side you can see that they have collapsed.
