Two Savannah Electric employees were scheduled to fly back from Atlanta today with local homebuilder, C. A. Griffin, Inc.

Reports from Atlanta indicate that a plane owned by that company has crashed near the DeKalb-Peachtree Airport near Atlanta.

Savannah Electric is watching these reports with the greatest concern and is awaiting additional information. The thoughts and prayers of our employees go out to the families of those affected.

When the company can confirm whether or not any Savannah Electric employees were involved in this tragic accident, a further statement will be issued.
