Narrative

The back at 53W 15100 D3 fell out with the raise at 48R BS. Because this was initially thought to be a ground fall, MSHA was contacted. Upon further investigation, it was found that the combination of pre-drilling and blasting caused a portion of the back to come in. This was evidenced by bent ground support in the hanging wall. No one was working in the area at the time.
