VIDEOS: Federal investigators will be out at DeKalb-Peachtree Airport early Saturday morning to begin their investigation into the fiery plane crash that killed four people Friday afternoon. According to the Federal Aviation Administration, a single-engine Cessna 210 crashed at PDK airport around 1:11 p.m. The aircraft caught fire after crashing, and large flames and smoke were seen at the crash site. "It happened pretty fast," said photographer Keith Berry who witnessed it happen. "And the fire, it turned over and smoked for a second, and engulfed in flames." Berry, who is a professional photographer, often comes to PDK to take photos of the planes. The owner of Images By Keith was at the airport grabbing some photos through the airport's fence during a lunch break when he saw the plane come down.
