Narrative

After drilling hole the steels were stuck together and in the chuck. The employee was trying to get them out. There was a roof bolt laying across EE's boom, as EE went to move the roof bolt and sump EE's pot forward at the same time, mashed EE's left pinky, ring and middle finger. This resulted in three fractured fingers.
