I removed the following text from the History section of the article:
- On May 11, 1996, ValuJet Flight 592, which had taken off for Hartsfield from Miami International Airport in Miami, Florida, experienced a fire and crashed into the Florida Everglades, killing all on board.
This passage seemed out of place in context and irrelevant in reference to the history of the airport, as the ValuJet crash happened over 500 nm away and had nothing to do with Hartsfield other than being bound for it. It is mentioned in the article for Miami International, which is, I think, more appropriate, as the mishap occurred shortly after takeoff there. Most interested in this crash will, I think, begin their search in the ValuJet article instead. Chris 05:58, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Is mentioning the former name in the opening paragragh really needed? It's in the history section. -james_anatidae 12:06, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Accidents and incidents
This section contributes no value to this article. The Lexington incident occurred on the ground at that airport. Suggest removing
[edit] Picture
any decent pics for the infobox?
[edit] Busiest airport?
Largest perhaps, but read on Heathrow, they say they have the busiest airport. What right or wrong here? Shandristhe azylean 13:52, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
often referred to as Heathrow, is the third busiest airport in the world, after Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Chicago O'Hare.
[edit] Possible Vandalism
I have removed a lot of nonsense from this article in which users has been inserting airlines that no longer serve this airport. If any one feels that my edits should be reverted, then please revert them. Many thanks! Bucs2004 04:54, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Possible Plagarism
Based on the history I'm reading about ATL, I think it's basically a plagarism from this video I saw to commemorare the opening of the 5th runway.

- I really don't see the plagiarism. They both cite the same facts, but there can be no copyright on facts. Nowhere that I've heard is the video's narration exactly what the video shows. Furthermore, this revision from two days before the video was released, 5/15/06, contains basically the same information as is in the video. I think it's possible that the video's producers used Wikipedia as a source! FCYTravis 06:24, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unclear sentence
This sentence is in the article's second paragraph: Hartsfield-Jackson also has fifty-seven percent of their passengers flying elsewhere. What does the sentence mean by "elsewhere"? Are 57% of passengers flying to destinations outside of the South? Perhaps someone who knows what the sentence is trying to say can rewrite it more clearly. - Walkiped 03:55, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] funny fact
I'll try not to take up too much space on the talk page but an interesting tidbit, the airport train system's PA system calls out the name of the terminals both their letters and their letters in the phonetic alphabet. The train goes: Tango(T) Alpha(A) Bravo(B) Charlie(C)but when it comes to D they had to change it so as not to confuse passangers because the phonetic for D is Delta... they change it to david...Nweinthal 13:46, 25 November 2006 (UTC)NW
