Rocks from the Heavens

These photos are from the Coppabella coal mine in Queensland. It looks like the excavator was caught underneath a collapsing highwall, and was severely damaged by the rock coming down on it. Another very lucky operater. This would probably be a write-off.

I've seen an email with these pics, said it was a blasting accident. Highwall looks more likely. Can anyone confirm?
