1.0 The Shenzhen landslide was initiated at 337 UTC on 20 December 2015. Location: 22.71749, 113.9337

2.0  Quote from the link:

“The landslide occurred at around 11:40am on Sunday (local time) in the Hengtaiyu industrial park in northwestern Shenzhen’s Guangming New District. It deposited more than 100,000 square meters (1.1 million square feet) of debris at the site, Xinhua reported. A sea of brown soil—with an average thickness of six meters (20 feet)—has covered an area of more than 60,000 square meters, geological experts told Xinhua.”

3.0 The Issue

It is pertinent to ask whether after all safety precautions were meticulously followed this landslide with all the loss of lives and property damage would still have occurred. The answer is an emphatic yes. Modern civilization (MC) being a society of specialists is repeatedly missing out on the interconnected effects of parts of MC on itself. Applying the precautionary principle, it is now imperative to halt MC in its tracks from further expansion, put our heads together and ponder scientifically on the persistently repeating catastrophes in MC(References 1 and 2).

4.0 Quantification of the world dam dynamics of Shenzhen landslide

4.1 The sinking of Shenzhen on 20 December 2015 by 2 meters below its level on 1 June 2015:

See Table 1:

What a sinking of the debris it was we all have seen!

4.2 The dam surge of 3 to 4 million terawatts passed to the Shenzhen dump for 15.4 milliseconds to create the landslide which toppled 33 buildings and spread the 100000 m^2 60 to 70 meter high  waste and earthen dump into a 60000 m^2, 6 m high swathe of rubbish burying the park underneath it in seconds. See Table 2:

 

Note that in Table 2 Shenzhen landslide possibilities for 330 AM UTC as well as for 340 AM UTC on 20 December have been calculated. It is quite possible that the event started at a time slightly prior to 330 AM UTC and went on till 340 AM UTC.

Hello Indians how will you manage the construction dumps?
Hint: Recycle everything using a new design!
