Atlanta probes cemetery in aftermath of tornado

In the wake of the March 14 tornado that plowed through Atlanta, archeologists and others are looking through the damaged ruins to see what secrets Oakland Cemetery might hold. Among the notables buried there are author Margaret Mitchell ("Gone With the Wind") and golfing legend Bobby Jones.
Notes Sara Sanders, a FEMA archeologist:
"There are 70,000 burials here. Not all of them are in coffins."
