That big accident is due to heavy rain within those days, about 14 inches of rainfall.
News says that above 30 workers died on the spot. Authorities search other deads in collapsed ground.
Many say that it might be due to using large machines such as land evacuator, land-mine and other technology for searching jade.
Private and semi-private companies which get favourable chances from junta get special opportunities in looking for jade.
Environmental condition in Pha Kant has been spoilt by digging, mining and evacuating land by those companies.
