Narrative

An unintentional roof fall occured in a 3-way intersection on the 1st East return in the #11 entry at station 34+30. The fall did affect ventilation so the unit was shut down and the stopping line re-routed. The area had been bolted with 6 foot roof bolts. The fall measured 24 feet x 20 feet x 10 feet.
