A landslide that killed 73 people and left four others missing in the southern city of Shenzhen on Dec 20 was an "extraordinarily serious" industrial safety accident, according to a report issued on Friday by a State Council investigative team.

After nearly seven months of studying the accident at the Hong'ao dump site, the team concluded it was caused by the improper storage of construction waste and lack of a drainage system at the landfill site.

The team identified 110 people with varying levels of responsibility for the accident. Fifty-three of them could possibly be summoned to appear, be placed under residential surveillance, be detained or arrested.
