Narrative

The section was being moved around and a new belt was being installed. The belt tail piece had been disconnected and was to be moved to the belt being installed. A scoop was hooked to the tail piece to move it. The EE did not move back far enough. One of the legs of the tail piece fouled on an offset in the mine floor. It swung around and the back of the tail piece hit the EE.
