A small plane carrying 10 people has vanished in Alaska, sparking a major search and rescue mission. The aircraft, a Bering Air Caravan, lost contact about an hour after taking off from Unalakleet, a remote town in rural Alaska.
Who Was on Board?
The plane was headed to Nome, a city 146 miles (235 km) away. It carried nine passengers and one pilot, but their names haven’t been released yet. Families and friends are anxiously waiting for news as the search continues.
Race Against Time
Rescue teams are working around the clock, using the last known coordinates to track the plane. However, harsh winter conditions are making it even harder to find. Every minute counts, and crews are pushing through despite the challenges.
A String of Aviation Tragedies
This heartbreaking situation comes right after two major air disasters in the U.S.:
On January 30, a passenger jet collided with a U.S. Army helicopter in Washington, killing 67 people.
Days later, a medical plane crashed into a crowded Philadelphia neighborhood, leaving seven dead and 19 injured.
Hope and Support
As search efforts continue, thoughts and prayers pour in for those on board and their loved ones. This is a developing story—stay tuned for updates.
