Narrative

As the continuous miner was completing a pushout, a piece of roof rock fell near the pushout and fouled the machine's cutter head. This prevented the continuous miner from being readily removed from the area. Sometime later, as the machine remained in this position, additional roof material fell onto the continuous miner. There were no injuries.
