The aviation industry was on the verge of an explosion of a plane tire, and this disaster led to the loss of two lives and a serious injury to another.
It took place in the maintenance section of the airport in the wee hour of Tuesday, as reported by WSB2, a local news channel. The report stated that a Delta employee and a contractor were reported to have died in the incident, and another airline worker was critically injured.

As the statement added, the matters are now under cooperation with local authorities and further investigation. The airline also expressed appreciation for the efforts of the first responders and the medical teams on the spot.
The plane, which came from Las Vegas on Sunday night and exploded in Atlanta, was under investigation while the reason behind the explosion was not announced.
Atlanta’s Mayor, Andre Dickens, said to the relatives of Delta’s deceased employees, ‘I extend my condolences to the families of these brave individuals, as well as offer my good wishes to the injured; I hope they recover as soon as possible. We also have the airport, police, and fire departments at the scene as they continue their investigation.
