RedactedNarrative: On 05/01/2021 I received a report of an overturned vessel and 3 individuals in the water below the spillway at the John Sevier Steam Plant. Three individuals had anchored below the spillway when their 14ft Jon Boat spun around due to turbulent water and began taking on water.  
  
  One occupant pulled the anchor up and the boat swung into the spillway and took on more water.  All three occupants went into the water as the boat sank, and were pulled from the water by nearby vessels. None of the victims were wearing life jackets. All three victims were treated and released on scene at the TVA boat ramp.  *
