| Description | |
|
|
A coal filler was killed at Harraton Colliery, Durham. A coal shot charged with four ounces of explosive was electrically fired when he was in direct line with the shot and only ten yards distant from it. The shot-firer failed before firing the shot to see that the filler had taken proper shelter, relying instead upon verbal instructions.
