Comments
Witnessed machine accidental
Estimated to be 25 to 100cm deep crown
Triggered from the shallow point on the upper right and propagated down the ridge.
Dug test profile near the site @ 2100m east aspect 25 degree slope
Repeated Compression test failures 25cm down on precipitation particle.
No propitiation results on the extended column test potentially due to the low slope angle.
