Narrative

A coal outburst and floor heave occurred on the belt line between x-cut 13 and 14. The area involved was 60 to 70 feet outby the longwall tailpiece. The result of the outburst and floor heave raised the beltline up and in some locations it was in or near the monorail. This disrupted mining for more than 1 hour.
