Willow Creek mine shut after trio of accidents
Chetwynd British Columbia Willows Creek mine owned by Western Canadian Coal has been closed until further notice after a sequence of accidents. One incident involved a D10 bulldozer sinking into a water filled pit. Vice President Bob Bayes described the event as very scary and noted the worker was instructed to clear and pump a water hole near a mined out pit but misunderstood the water configuration.
