Two Delta employees killed, one injured in Atlanta airport incident

Two Delta Air Lines workers were killed and one injured in an incident at an airline maintenance facility at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Tuesday, Delta said.

"This news is heartbreaking for all of us," Delta said in a statement, adding that the incident had occurred in the wheel and brake shop but without giving any further details.

WSB-TV in Atlanta, citing sources, earlier said a Delta employee and a contractor were killed when a tire on a plane exploded while it was being removed.

The aircraft had arrived from Las Vegas on Sunday, the station reported, citing flight information.
