ATLANTA _ A small plane crashed on Kennesaw State University's Kennesaw campus Thursday evening, police confirmed.
The crash happened at the intersection of Bartow Avenue and Campus Loop Road, KSU's Office of Emergency Management said in a tweet. The tweet also said there were no reports of damaged buildings or injuries to KSU students, faculty or staff.
Two people were in the plane, and they were taken to an area hospital, OEM said in a later tweet. They were seen sitting up on their stretchers and were conscious.
Cobb County Fire told WSB-TV that engine failure led to the crash, and the passengers were on their way from Omaha, Neb., to Charlie Brown Field in Fulton County.
Video obtained by WSB-TV appears to show the plane crashed into a tree. It also appears to show a large deployed parachute-like device.
Abby Rodriguez, a KSU graduate student, captured video of one of the crash's survivors waving his hand.
"I just thought it was a bridge that collapsed," she told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "We went to the parking lot, and I thought it was an explosion."
Another graduate student, Megan Allen, said it sounded like a deafening boom.
"It almost sounded like I-75 was collapsing ... It was so loud it was hard to comprehend what happened," Allen said.
Tammy DeMel, assistant vice president of communications at KSU, said the campus will be open fully operational on Friday.
Cobb County police said federal agencies are investigating the crash, and a portion of campus may be closed as a result.
