Narrative

EE and two others were working in the Tunnel in the Quarry trying to raid the gate for the tail-pulley. When it became unstuck, EE's hand got stuck between the gate and the wall. The other two rushed to help free EE's hand using a piece of 2x4 wood to pry EE's hand out. It took about 3 minutes to free EE's right hand; EE's thumb was numb.
