Plane wreckage removed from North Georgia crash site

Authorities in northern Georgia removed the wreckage today from the plane crash that killed legendary test pilot Scott Crossfield, the first man to fly at twice the speed of sound, the Associated Press reported.



Crossfield was found dead Thursday after his single-engine plane crashed Wednesday in stormy weather in a remote and heavily forested gully about 10 miles from Ranger, Ga., in the mountains of northern Georgia.



The cause of the crash has not been determined and still is under investigation, National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Terry Williams said today, according to the AP.
