Out in the Western U.S. it seemed we had about 5 spon com events a year, heating events and you watched your terminology, but mine gases showing combustion gases but no one had seen a flame. This brought back memories, with the term overpressure from the GOB… I know I am a coal miner and rescue man at heart, but I would love to be at this event to see what becomes of a heating event with overpressure… Where’s Virgil when you need him? I know the Australians may be miles ahead of where we were with the tube bundle system, if they have it in place at all mines, that can give you 24 hour readouts. This event just peaks my interest.
