MORE SLIP Photos

The fissure in the lands above where Arthon is working are indicative of the movement of the rock mass. The opening is shown in the several photos. This is not the result of blasting .... but rather a natural condition in the rock exposed by the removal of rock at the base of the slope.... with the ballast base removed, the mass above began to move.
