About 30 people are believed to have died after a landslide buried a bus in which they were traveling in central China on Tuesday.
Rescuers started searching for the bus after the bus company reported the vehicle missing on Tuesday.
The bus was discovered in the rubble of the landslide, which killed one worker and injured another, at a railway tunnel construction site on Tuesday in Badong, western Hubei Province. Two workers are missing.
Rescuers reached the front of the bus around 4:00 a.m. on Friday, said sources from China Railway Tunnel Group Co. Ltd.
Rescuers said there were no signs of life on the bus.
The landslide occurred at about 8:40 a.m. at the entrance of the tunnel in Badong county, Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, hitting the four workers who were painting the walls on scaffolding.
