There was a deadly industrial accident in Bromley, Kentucky on December 14, 2023. Reports indicate two contractors of Building Crafts, Inc. became trapped in a raw sewage tank. The men are believed to have been working in the tank when a plug came out of a large pipe in that location, causing sewer water to rapidly fill the tank. A third worker was able to climb out of the tank via extension cords. The victims have been identified as Josh Mason and Mason Neisis. The incident remains under investigation at this time.
