Narrative

On 4-15-17 the longwall headgate became impassable due the top setting down on the longwall stageloader. By 4-17-17 the wall had ""pushed"" enough of the material away to expose the strata that showed the top had fallen higher than the roof bolt anchorage zone making this a fall by definition.
