Rescue workers in Colombia are using large mechanical diggers as they try to find up to 30 people buried under tonnes of mud at a gold mine.
Three bodies have been recovered so far but officials say the unstable soil is making the search problematic.
It is not clear exactly how many people are underneath the rubble, as the mine was operating illegally.
Crowds gathered at the site in the south-western Cauca department after the incident on Wednesday night.
The hundreds of miners and relatives watching the rescue efforts have refused to move away despite being warned that they themselves could be buried alive by another landslide.
