Details of Event
Falls in Mine (b) Falls of Roof – He was stripping a downthrow fault which was almost parallel to the line of face when a heavy fall of hard sand-stone occurred between the last row of props and the face. There was evidence that a row of props had been set 4 ft. from the face, but under the special conditions another row should have been set closer up. Newspaper report - Lanarkshire pages
