Narrative

Discovered that a roof fall had blocked travel off the face into the tailgate entry. The fall measured approximately 19' wide, 15' long and 10' high. The air velocities on the face remained above plan minimums. Following implementation of the blockage plan, 3 passes were made and a travelway was reestablished.
