On July 10, 2000, a mountain of rain-loosed garbage collapsed and turned into flames, burying a housing site in Barangay Payatas in Quezon City. The incident caused the death of as many as one thousand individuals and the destruction of about a hundred houses. 

According to official records, around 260 deaths were reported, and around 300 persons were missing, while 655 families were rendered homeless due to the incident. However, other sources insist that 705 people died in Payatas, and many first-hand accounts note the figure is far greater than the official count, perhaps closer to 1,000.
