Narrative

While cutting out the TG during the 5th pass of the day, the roof failed on the LW face, above Shield 175 & 176, resulting in blocking travel off the TG. Mining halted, air readings were taken and notification calls were made, mining resumed under the TG Blockage procedures, with MSHA approval.
