An accident during routine maintainance (an elbow to the tipple while cleaning track) knocked the tipple of the Iron King mine off it's foundation and blew the roof of the winch house today. No LPBs were injured.
Repairs have been made and the mine is back in operation.
Mine officials and OSHA are investigating the accident and hope to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Better watch out there!!! The union and OSHA will be after you and wanting to ban elbows. Of course, an acetone demonstation should bring some concessions...

Finger of god or elbow of Ray, results are the same. Do they have their own version of FEMA? LPBEMA?
