A plane with 10 people on board disappeared during a flight from Unalakleet to Nome, Alaska, triggering a large-scale search effort involving the Coast Guard, Air Force, and local fire departments.
A search is underway in Alaska after a plane with 10 people on board went missing. The Bering Air Caravan flight departed from Unalakleet for Nome but failed to arrive as scheduled, prompting a report to Alaska State Troopers at 4 p.m. local time Thursday. The US Coast Guard deployed a C-130 aircraft equipped with search and rescue technology to scan the area, while Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage is providing additional flight support.
Ground crews have been scouring the coastline from Nome to Topkok, covering a 30-mile stretch where the plane disappeared from radar. White Mountain Fire Chief Jack Adams told KTUU that the worst-case scenario would be if the plane had crashed into the water due to the presence of sea ice. Unalakleet is a small coastal community on the western coast of Alaska, and Nome is located approximately 141 miles to the northwest. The plane's exact location remains unknown, and search efforts are being expanded in all possible directions until the aircraft is found
