Narrative

An unplanned fall of the mine roof occurred on the tailgate entry of the 14 Left longwall at approximately 20+00 measuring 30' long x 8' wide x 4' high. The fall was not above the anchorage zone of the bolts and ventilation was not impaired but it prevented passage of men off the tail of the longwall face. The incident was immediately reported to MSHA and WVOMHST
