## Narrative

Miner was in the process of loading the face with a 3 bag ANFO pot, when the pot goes dry the ANFO loading hose gets an instant burst of high pressure air, which caused the end of the plastic loading hose to whip out of the hole and strike the miner above the right eye, lacerating the right eye brow and the bridge of the nose.
