A search is underway in Alaska for a plane with 10 people on board that did not arrive in Nome as scheduled. The Bering Air Caravan flight from Unalakleet to Nome was reported overdue to Alaska State Troopers. Nine passengers and a pilot were on board. The Coast Guard has been notified, and there is an active ground search being conducted by the Nome Volunteer Fire Department. Weather conditions limited air operations and a C-130 Coast Guard plane will be flying over the area. Ground crews have covered a large stretch of the coast in search of the plane, which disappeared from radar along the coast of Nome to Topkok. The exact location of the plane is still unknown. Officials are hopeful that the plane is on land rather than in the water, as sea ice is present in the water. Unalakleet, where the flight originated, is a small coastal community on the western coast of Alaska, while Nome is located around 141 miles to the northwest. The search efforts are being expanded until the plane is located.
