Narrative

Two EE's were removing the left cutter motor from miner 248. They had the motor loose and were walking it out with blue bars so they could put a chain around it and remove the motor. While walking it out the motor suddenly moved causing the bar to move rapidly, the point end of the bar struck his right thumb, causing a laceration on the inside of his right thumb.
