Narrative

Miners were being withdrawn from the mine after a hoisting shaft was taken out of service. A door on the bottom car of the skip vibrated open during its descent and the door jammed in the shaft. The hoist operator returned the skip to the surface. The other shaft was returned to service and the remaining underground miners traveled to the surface safely.
