I’m betting he put his hand on it to detect movement he couldn’t see. -Goofy-

You mine through an area, leaving pillars of coal ( maybe 50’ x 50’ ) to support the roof and overburden above you. When you got to the end of that section of coal, you remined the pillars, splitting them in two, while setting props to support the roof. In the end, you mined ( “ pulled” ) the “ push out stump” , and the area was gonna cave. It was a balancing act, getting enough of the push out stump to induce a fall ( which you wanted ), and still having enough time to get yourself and the continuous mining machine out of there. Good times 40 years ago.

Knocked out every other block then threaded a chain through the holes and pulled with and excavator and it just crumbled over. Very cool i wish i still had the video of it. Dont think id stand beside it like that though!
