Plane down near PDK
One person has died after a small plane crashed Friday morning at I-285 at Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. Traffic was shut down in both directions. According to Channel 2 Action News, the fire was extinguished, but there was very little wreckage left. Chamblee and Doraville police are on the scene. An Atlanta Journal-Constitution photographer is headed to the scene. (www.ajc.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
is this just north of 'spaghetti junction' near the old General Motors- Doraville Assembly plant? I have family that travel that section of 285 every day from Tucker up to Dunwoody. Prayers for the families of those lost.
On this date FAA shows that N5802V registration status is "expired" as of 3/31/2015. http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NNum_Results.aspx?NNumbertxt=5802V
I saw that as well, but not knowing much about registering aircraft (I'm an insurance agent)I wondered if maybe the renewal just wasn't showing up yet. Perhaps improperly maintained in other areas, would be my guess. And I'm just curious...I noticed the original "airworthiness" as 1977 (if I read it right)...a 38 year old single engine aircraft, is that typical?
The FAA site says that its information is updated daily at midnight, but who really knows. There are many scores of certificated single engine aircraft with current registrations much older than 38 years flying every day. Age doesn't matter as long as the plane is regularly inspected, well maintained and refurbished or restored as needed. An expired registration does not necessarily indicate poor maintenance or bad condition, but one would normally expect all the documentation to be current and the FAA pretty much requires it.
Incredible headaches for drivers as authorities reopen the westbound lane but keep the eastbound lane closed to traffic.

Four dead after plane crashes onto major Atlanta highway
Four people died on Friday when the small plane they were riding in crashed on a busy Atlanta-area highway after taking off from a nearby airport, local authorities said.
The accident shut down a stretch of Interstate 285 and caused traffic problems throughout Atlanta. But no drivers on the major thoroughfare reported any injuries, including a tractor-trailer driver who said the aircraft clipped his truck.
"It was a sheer miracle that no one was hurt and that we had no other victims," said DeKalb County Fire Rescue Captain Eric Jackson.
