Narrative

The intersection of No. 1 Entry, at XC-11 in LW-304 had been dangered off due to poor roof conditions. Crews were progressively installing roof to floor supports toward the intersection. As pumpable cribs were pumped, they observed the roof sag. The roof eventually fell, 18ft W by 60 ft L by approx 15 ft high.
