ATLANTA — Channel 2 Action News has obtained new video showing a fire coming out of a Delta plane as it turned back to Atlanta on Wednesday night.
Channel 2 Action News first reported the incident during WSB Tonight at 11 p.m. after a viewer sent us video of the plane she took of it flying overhead from her home off of Camp Creek Parkway.
