I-285 plane crash: 'Nothing can be moved'

Asked how his crews would go about removing the crash debris from the interstate, DeKalb County fire Capt. Eric Jackson said: “We’re not going to do a thing. This is a federal investigation, so they will have the appropriate authority” to clean up the crash site.

Jackson said: “It’s really important because this is now an investigation, and nothing can be moved, nothing can be touched, nothing can be altered. With the exception of life-saving and firefighting purposes, everything has to stay exactly where it is.”
