Narrative

A dozer operating in the raw coal stock pile ran over the feeder #4 which had a void underneath, this allowed the dozer to drop in to the void. The dozer was covered in coal from the rear up to and including the operator's cab. It took approximately 75 minutes to uncover the cab so the operator could get out.
