This collapse resulted in the deaths of six miners who were working underground in the area of the collapse. Ten days later, a much smaller collapse in this mine killed three rescue workers and injured six others (Stricklin 2007). A local magnitude (ML) 3.9 seismic event occurred at approximately the same time and place as the Crandall Canyon Mine collapse. Seismological evidence summarized in this paper and in a companion...
