Employee drowns when air line becomes entangled

Employee #1 was working underwater removing sludge from a 15 foot deep enclosed pit. His air line became entangled in the impeller of one of the three pumps used to keep the water level down in the sludge building. The impeller had a screen guard around it; however, the air line slipped between the guard and the flange of the impeller piping and then wrapped around the impeller rod, thus eliminating the air supply to Employee #1. He drowned.
