The FAA said the National Transportation Safety Board would be leading the investigation
A small plane crashed just after takeoff October 8 afternoon from a suburban airport in a northeast suburb of Atlanta, killing all four people aboard, authorities said.
The Federal Aviation Administration said the single-engine Cessna 210 crashed about 1:10 p.m. at DeKalb-Peachtree Airport and caught fire. All four people on board died, a county fire spokesman said.
At least 15 firefighters stationed at the county-owned airport raced onto the runway and put out the flames relatively quickly, according to the county fire official, Capt. Jaeson Daniels, speaking with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
