I’m still confused over the cause of these seismic events. The owner keeps saying the quakes caused the wall collapses and the seismologists keep calling them mining-induced quakes.

Which comes first, the chicken or the egg, the mine or the quake?

I imagine that's why you see chain-link fencing all along the walls and ceiling. To try to hold back some of the debris shooting from the walls/ceilings during a bounce.
