JAKARTA, Indonesia - Rescuers dug through mountains of debris today to look for survivors after a 30-foot wall of garbage and mud collapsed onto a neighborhood in central Indonesia, killing 33 people, police said. At least 70 others were still missing.

Police spokesman Lt. Suwaji said the landslide at a garbage dump near the West Java town of Bandung early Monday was sparked by torrential rains that have hit the region in recent days.

Suwaji said 29 bodies had been pulled out of the debris by Monday night, and four others were uncovered Tuesday morning. But the 30-foot high pile of garbage had covered dozens of nearby homes, and authorities said they still could not account for about 70 people.

The missing included scavengers who eke out a living by sorting through the refuse and reselling recyclable items.

Hundreds of soldiers, police and rescuers were digging through the estimated 165 million cubic feet of trash that had collapsed on the neighborhood.

Rescuers failed to pull any survivors from the debris since finding six injured people Monday morning, said Suwaji, who like many Indonesians uses only one name.

Bandung is about 110 miles southeast of Jakarta. The dump at the nearby village of Leuwigajah is main municipal trash disposal site.

Rampant deforestation and a lengthy rainy season cause dozens of landslides and flash floods each year in Indonesia. Hundreds of people are killed in such disasters.
