Details of Event
Knocked about and fatally injured an air-blast, or rush of wind, caused by a fall of stone in a large cavity from which a heavy fall had previously occurred, which blocked the engine plane which was being repaired. It was at first thought be an explosion of gas, but subsequent investigation proved conclusively it was not so. Six others were injured more or less seriously.
