Two workers buried alive

SEMARANG, Central Java: A landslide buried two workers alive and seriously injured another in the Sendang Mulyo village near here.

Eyewitnesses said the incident occurred at a land quarrying site when the side of a hill slid down and buried the workers and the truck they were loading with earth.

Hartono, the truck driver who survived the disaster, said the incident happened as fast as lightning and that there was no way to help his colleagues. (wah/pan)
