Narrative

At the 5-5200 south bench, a fall of ground from the back fell approximate size 10' by 10' by 20' long. The area was not open to personnel only remote equipment. The fall was approximately 178 feet from where personnel had access. A miner thought the rib had failed and reported it. The next morning the mine foreman went to look it over and determined the failure was from the back.
