2001年5月1日，重庆市武隆县发生了一起严重的滑坡灾难，滑坡体积仅1．2万m^3，摧毁了一幢9层商住楼，造成79人死亡，中断319国道4昼夜。这次滑坡灾害是在特殊的环境条件下形成和发生的，具有压制拉裂→拱溃剧滑的力学机理。类似的滑坡灾害还有1987年9月1日重庆市巫溪县发生的南门湾岩崩、1997年7月17日四川省兴文县发生的金风村滑坡。这些滑坡灾害的惨痛教训说明，县、乡、村级基层组织防灾减灾的意识淡薄，防灾减灾的科普宣传、教育还未落实到实处；因此必须加强县、乡、村级的防灾减灾工作。

On unwonted landslide, its volume only twelve thousands m~3, occurred at Wulong County of Chongqing City on May 1, 2001, and a building of nine stories destroyed, 79 people dead, natonal highway No. 319 interrupted for four days. This landslide occurred and formed on special condition, which has the mechanism of high-speed landslide with pressed ripped and burst, and there awere some similar landslides, for example the Nanmenwan landslide occurred at Wuxi County, Chongqing City on September 1, 1987, and the Jinfengcun landslide occurred at Singwen County, Sichuan Province on July 17, 1997. These disastrous landslides showed that the consciousness of primary organization on disaster prevention and reduction was insufficient, the knowledge of landslide should be popularized and the work of disaster prevention and reduction is very important and essential.
