Narrative

An explosion occurred underground in the area of crosscut 24-25, entry #1, near the underground compressor. The explosion was believed to have been caused by a low voltage signal coming from the power company causing the main mine fan to go off, but not the power to the underground areas of the mine. No one was on the mine property when the explosion occurred.
