A crashed airplane with three deceased individuals inside was discovered in western Alaska during the search for a missing flight that had 10 people on board. The crash site was located approximately 34 miles southeast of Nome, and recovery efforts were being coordinated by the Nome Volunteer Fire Department and the Alaska National Guard. The crashed plane matched the description of a Bering Air Cessna Caravan that had taken off from Unalakleet to Nome on Thursday. Radar analysis indicated that the aircraft experienced a rapid loss in elevation and speed at around 3:18 p.m. on Thursday. The conditions of the seven other individuals on board were unclear at the time of reporting. Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy expressed his sympathies to the passengers, pilot, and their families affected by the tragedy. Nome and Unalakleet, the two communities involved in the incident, are not connected by a highway system, making air and water transport the primary means of travel between the two locations. The Coast Guard and local authorities continue to investigate the crash as a developing story. Please stay tuned for further updates on this tragic incident.
