Narrative

A roof fall was discovered in front of the No. 6 Seal at approximately 6:00 am. The fall was approximately 18 ft wideand approximately 10 ft high. The length could not be determined. As the longwall retreats, this location will be consumed by the gob within 36 hrs. The weekly exam on the seal will not need to be performed again due to retreating past this location.
