re: Ann: Pike River Coal Ventilation Shaft Ro... Well the rock fall is a bit of a blow but it is not insurmountable. It is being worked on as we speak as it were.
It will curtail some of the coal mining ...or reduce the amount that can be mined at the moment. Looks like it could disrupt things for at least a couple or three weeks.
No doubt they will be working hard on getting it sorted.
