The wreckage of a small jet was found Saturday in a remote area of northern Georgia, hours after the plane went missing from radar shortly after takeoff from the Atlanta area.
There were no signs of survivors, the Gordon County Sheriff's Office said. It wasn't known how many people were aboard.
A search began once the plane was reported missing Saturday morning, Gordon County Sheriff Chief Deputy Robert Paris told The Associated Press. Civilians aided in the search and it was a private citizen who first spotted wreckage. "It's in a very densely wooded, very remote part of our county," he said.
Paris said National Transportation Safety Board officials were expected to arrive Sunday.
