Narrative

Men were bolting this area 2nd East 1 Entry 1 to 5 XC. They noticed truss bolts taking unusual loads. At this time they removed equipment and men. After the need for longer cable bolts was determined operations at this location stopped. While materials were being obtained, the roof fell. The roof consisted of deteriorating mudstone and shale layers up to about 10'.
