Narrative

An unplanned fall of the mine roof occurred above the anchorage zone in the tailgate entry of the 14 left longwall panel at approximately 53+92. The fall did not affect ventilation to the longwall face but did make the tail entry impossible. The fall was a direct result of shearer operator mining above the coal seam.
