Heavy Equipment: British Columbia

Massive Landslide Dept: JOHNSONS LANDING, B.C. -- Searchers with heavy equipment and avalanche beacons waded into an area Friday that was devastated by a massive landslide in British Columbia's Interior. As many as four people were believed buried under several metres of rock, mud and trees, according to Winnipeg Free Press. A dog team entered the area briefly Thursday, but precarious conditions prevented rescuers from returning for much of the day Friday and cTV / THE CANADIAN PRESS Photo from video screen shows Johnson Landing home buried in mud and debris. The slide struck a day earlier at Johnsons Landing, a hamlet on the shores of Kootenay Lake about 70 kilometres northeast of Nelson, severely damaging three homes. Four people, including a father, his two daughters and a German tourist, were unaccounted for and feared caught in the debris. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
