Narrative

A section of the highwall approximately 50 feet wide, 25 feet long and 10 feet thick fell onto the front of the AddCar Highwall Miner, causing a stop in normal production activity for longer than one (1) hour. There was no injury to persons as the pit had already been evacuated due to the wall moving.
