Narrative

While investigating decreased air flow in the 4540, a rib failure was discovered at the top of twin ventilation raises on the 4675. The raises are located behind a permanent bulkhead which can only be accessed when a sealed inspection cover is removed. Although the condition was in an inactive area as a courtesy was reported to MSHA. As a result a 103K order was issued.
