(CNN) The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash of a small jet in Georgia, according to a tweet from NTSB Newsroom. "It's not a rescue effort, it's a recovery effort," Gordon County Sheriff Mitch Ralston said during a news briefing Saturday afternoon. Ralston did not say how many people were on board and if there were fatalities. A Cessna 501 departed from Atlanta Regional Airport-Falcon Field in Peachtree City shortly before 10 a.m. Saturday, FAA spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen told CNN. Minutes later, the jet disappeared around 50 miles north of Atlanta, Bergen said.
