A landslide of construction waste occurred at Shenzhen, on 20 December 2015. It destroyed and buried industrial buildings and worker living quarters in the nearby industrial park. The death toll was 73, with 4 people reported missing. It was an industrial accident due to human negligence rather than a natural disaster. The local police arrested some of the people involved in the irregularities of the huge waste dump which had built up in the previous two years.
In April 2017, 45 people including government officials, were charged in local courts for negligence and corruption resulting in prison sentences and large fines.
