## Narrative

On 10/9/2024 a spare bucket tooth went through the impact crusher. On 10/10/2024, 2 miners were working on adjusting the curtain adjuster all thread so the contractor that was scheduled to come could help flip blow bars. The adjuster they were loosening fell crushing one miners left hand (thumb and webbing between index finger).
