Narrative

the laborer was tasked to unclog the ¾' Tunnel bunker so that material could flow through since it was plugged with wet material. The laborer stood outside the bunker and used an air-lance to dislodge material from below, material hit the air-lance and trapped the laborer's right forearm between the bunker's bottom opening wall and air-lance, causing muscle sprain.
