Narrative

A rockburst occurred in F entry of 4600 ramp which bagged the wire mesh & sheared a split set bolt. This allowed a small amount of material to be released(apprx. 2 1/2 yds). There was a 6x8 section of the crown about 50' from the face that was heavily damaged and this is where the material was released. The wire mesh contained about 90% of the material
