Narrative

At approx. 4:40 am, the elevator malfunctioned with one miner on it. The malfunction was due to extreme cold temperatures knocking the heater off and not allowing the fluids to go through the pump to cycle the system. There were no injuries or property damage due to this incident. The miner was able to exit the elevator on the surface at 5:50 am.
