Narrative

A cave in the gob behind the shields of the 2LEM longwall (MMU001) occurred that impaired ventilation by blowing down 2 curtains. This was corrected by re-hanging the 2 curtains in the intake entries. Further evaluation revealed that the floor heaved and material fell from the ribs into the tailgate walkway and escapeway. The material in the escapeway impeded passage.
