Narrative

The A-belt section was pillaring and the right side MRS jack weighted up at 3:00 pm. The crew decided to pull out of the entry with the equipment and the left MRS jack would not tram past a hanging rock and gob. The hanging rock fell from the mine roof around 4:30 pm and the crews used the miner to free the MRS jack.
