MSHA reported that on May 22, a bulldozer fell into a void above a feeder. The loose material from the coal pile collapsed around the bulldozer, engulfing the bulldozer and trapping the miner inside the cab. The bulldozer was equipped with a “submarine kit” consisting of high-strength glass, self-contained self rescuers and two-way communication. Full story.
