At about noon, the two miners went to the TR3955 access drift on the 1550 level to finish connecting an air line and water hose to the pipe which had been previously installed. They worked from the deck of the scissors lift vehicle. After completing the installation, Gross saw that the valve handle at the end of the air hose could not be operated as installed unless it was turned. They began to loosen the valve assembly so that it could be rotated to the proper position. During the process, Crowley noticed that the coupling connecting the hose nipple to the valve was not properly seated in the groove. The two miners were loosening the coupling so the valve could be repositioned when the coupling, nipple, and air hose assembly blew away from the valve, whipping the hose and striking the two men.
Matthew Hatfield, miner, who was working in a drift nearby, heard the noise and ran to the site. He was unable to turn off the air to the whipping hose until it became wedged. Other miners working in the area arrived shortly and administered medical assistance to Gross and Crowley while they were en route to the surface. They were transported to a local hospital where Gross was pronounced dead at 5:28 pm. Death was attributed to massive head trauma. Crowley was treated for cuts and abrasions and released.
CONCLUSION
The cause of the accident was failure to bleed the pressure from the air line before conducting repairs. Failure to install automatic shutoff valves, safety chains, or other suitable locking devices between the hose and coupling was a contributing factor.
