Details of Event
A hole was drilled into the socket of an old hole in which there was some explosive. The old hole was beneath water, standing in this bottom of the level, and consequently would be difficult to examine. At the same time, if the Special Rules had been rigidly carried out, the accident would most probably have been avoided.
