Narrative

On 2/15/07, EE was cleaning out the crusher chute. The crusher chute was plugged with rock and ice. EE was using a slate bar to dislodge the material so it would fall down the chute. The bar slipped and caught his finger between the bar and beam, smashing his right ring finger at the joint.
