Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was approximately 19 feet below ground level trying to cut a metal pipe that was obstructing the use of an air ranger. He had been trying to free it with a shovel and had evidently dislodged methane gas. A blow torch was lowered to him to cut the pipe and when it was lit, an explosion occurred. Employee #1 suffered third-degree burns over 80 percent of his body. He died of a heart attack about a week later in the hospital.
