At least three people have died after a factory condemned as unsafe collapsed in China.
As many as 100 others were trapped in the debris of the collapse in Huangtian on the south-eastern coast.
The electroplate factory collapsed without warning, an official said.
Most of the people in the factory were migrant workers from poorer, inland provinces.
The state-run newspaper Beijing Daily, quoting survivors, said more than 100 people were in the factory when it collapsed.
Rescue efforts have been hampered because the factory is near a river and part of the debris was covered during high tide.
Tide waters have already covered that part of the wreckage twice, making survival unlikely for any still buried.
The building's owner and at least one factory manager have been arrested for operating the factory despite an order from town safety officials to shut it down.
