Landslide in Indonesia on Sunday, 27 January, 2013 at 10:55 (10:55 AM) UTC.
| Description | |
| Two separate landslides triggered by torrential rain in western Indonesia have killed at least nine people, including four geothermal workers, and left 17 others missing, officials said Sunday. Disaster official Ade Edward said 20 houses were buried by mud and rocks that fell from surrounding hills at dawn Sunday in Tanjung Sani village in West Sumatra province’s district. Rescuers recovered five bodies and were searching for 17 people who reportedly were buried under the mud, he said. Three injured villagers were being treated at a hospital. Heavy rain also triggered a landslide late Saturday in a drilling field owned by PT. Pertamina Geothermal Energy, killing four workers on Sumatra island, company official Adiatma Sardjito said. “The workers were having dinner when the landslide suddenly occurred,” Sardjito said, adding that five others were injured and one was missing. He said the company had sent heavy equipment to assist efforts to retrieve the bodies. |

Thanks, you write about what happening in my country in last week. Yes, on Jan, 17, Jakarta were flooded. On Jan 18, at my factory where I work, in Bekasi, not so far from Jakarta, water almost reach the production floor.

Thanks for this posting. May God save my country from another disaster.
Best regards,
I am sorry that you must go through this. Indonesia as well as many other countries are experiencing much suffering of late as Gaia is in turmoil. All the creatures of Gaia are being tested with these experiences. I feel that the better aware people are of the situation and events unfolding around the world. The more opportunities for good will and positive energy being sent to these areas. Please know that you, your country and those of other countries in turmoil are in our thoughts and prayers.
Blessings to you and yours.
