Narrative

LW Shearer was cutting into the TG. Roof failed around 2 roof bolts, adjacent to Shield 176, the last shield on the face. Fall was estimated to be 4 ft. wide, 8 ft. long and 8 ft. high. The entry remained open. The fall is reported because it went above the anchorage of the installed roof supports. Ventilation was unaffected. The fall was immediately reported via the hotline.
