Narrative

While pillaring the PCC Mains mining in the #4 entry second lift on the left side a large rock fell out and pinned the head. While trying to work the miner pivoting back and forth the breaker knocked on the side of the miner. A retrieval plan was implemented to use a retriever to pull the miner out from under the rock.
