Narrative

Operator was drilling a hole for setting off a shot. Operator looked to the left and noticed the dirt moving, felt the ground tremble a little and looked up to see the dirt from the ledge above falling. It crashed into the equipment pushing operator to the right and burying operator up to waist and pinning left leg. Two of our employees ran over and dug the operator out.
