On the afternoon of November 2, at the scene, it was found that a large amount of soil and rock had been cleared by workers, but on the top of Ru Nguoc Mountain, there were still rocks that had collapsed but had not yet collapsed. Therefore, workers and construction staff were having to hang on Ru Nguoc Mountain to drill and push the landslide soil and rock down. However, because the cliff was steep and at risk of further landslides, the recovery work was facing many difficulties.
