An unplanned roof fall occurred in the 11 Mains North section between 9 xc and 10 xc in the #5 entry. The fall was 12' wide, 30' long, and 6' to 8' high. The fall was due to a slicken side fault that appears to have been localized to the fall area. There was also some evidence of improperly installed roof bolts.
