Sewage Workers Missing after Solid Waste Disaster
The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency says a holding tank failed Tuesday morning at the Gatlinburg wastewater treatment plant, sending possibly millions of gallons of sewage into the Little Pigeon River.
TEMA spokesman Jeremy Heidt says between 11/2 and 3 million gallons of sewage spilled Tuesday morning.
Heidt says some of it entered the river that flows between the lanes of U.S. 441, also called the Spur, between the Smoky Mountain tourism centers of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.
Eric Brakins, assistant city manager for the city of Pigeon Forge, tells The Associated Press his city is helping look for the two workers.

Fatal Mule Accident Claims Life
L.F. Carter, 73, from Alabama, fell off his mule Friday and later died from the injuries, according to a report by Channel 4’s news partners at the Columbia Daily Herald.
Carter’s daughter told the paper that her dad was trying to climb on the animal’s saddle at Maury County Park, but the mule reared up and threw him off.
Carter did not seek medical attention immediately and died from a ruptured spleen among other injuries
Ned McWherter Dies
His administrative assistant, Madelyn Pritchett, said McWherter of Dresden died Monday at a Nashville hospital where he was being treated for cancer.
McWherter was governor from 1987 to 1995, following 20 years in the Legislature, 14 of them leading the House. He also was a political adviser to Bill Clinton during his presidency.
A child of sharecroppers, McWherter became a millionaire through various business enterprises before he was elected governor.
As governor, he supported education improvements that put more computers and technology in classrooms, increased teacher's pay, shrank class sizes and gave local school boards more control.
