The chief of the Communist Party of Shenzhen, the city where construction debris knocked over 33 buildings and trapped dozens of people, bowed as a sign of penance and swore to punish anyone who is found responsible for the accident . The apology was made on Friday, the same day that central government investigators announced that the landslide was caused by human error.
