Accordingly, on the night of September 26, in Thong Nhat hamlet, Chien Thang village, Tan Ha Lam Ha commune, a landslide occurred at the roadside and concrete yard next to Mr. Le Van Viet's house. The landslide was 10m wide and 20m long.

Initial assessment, the cause of the landslide was due to a large pond above Mr. Viet's house and prolonged heavy rains that destroyed the soil structure of the slope causing the landslide. At the same time, through inspection of the area around this household, another crack was discovered about 40m away from the landslide.
