Narrative

Lost SWEPCO power on both hoists due to component failure on SWEPCO side. Miners were not evacuated due to the unavailability of an electrician to operate the emergency generator. SWEPCO power was restored at 6:08 AM and the hoist was tested and returned to service. Miners returned to the surface at the 7:00 AM shift change.
