On February 23, a massive collapse at a coal mine in Inner Mongolia killed at least 5 miners and trapped 48 more – and hope for any rescue is vanishing quickly.

The video is terrifying.

Those little white dots that were obliterated by the landslide were vehicles with people in them.

Here's another angle:

The Chinese communist government said that 5 people died in the initial collapse. Since you can't trust anything the CCP says and they routinely lower death counts for PR purposes, expect the actual number to be much higher.

More from NBC News:

The initial cave-in of one of the pit's walls struck at around 1:00 p.m. Wednesday, burying people and mining trucks below in tons of rocks and sand. It was followed about five hours later by the additional landslide, forcing the work suspension.

The official Xinhua News Agency said about 900 rescuers with heavy equipment were on the scene and they had resumed the search by Thursday morning.

Chinese President Xi Jinping called for "all-out efforts in search and rescue" and for "ensuring the safety of people's lives and property and maintaining overall social stability."

Images of the collapse distributed by CCTV showed a massive wall of debris rushing down a slope onto people and vehicles below.

The company running the mine, Inner Mongolia Xinjing Coal Industry Co. Ltd., was fined last year for multiple safety violations ranging from insecure routes into and out of the pit, to unsafe storage of volatile materials and a lack of training for its safety staff, according to the news website The Paper.

Accidents like this are commonplace in China.

Here's video of the rescue efforts:
