Narrative

The miner had cut approximately 17 feet out of the right cut of the block to the right of #4 entry. The operator noticed the warning light going red on the MRS due to the pressure and the miner was removed. The left MRS malfunctioned. After it was removed the right MRS became caught. The roof broke in front of the MRS entrapping it. A hydraulic retriever pulled it from the rock.
