A Bering Air plane with 10 people on board, including nine passengers and a pilot, was reported missing while en route from Unalakleet to Nome, Alaska. Search and rescue teams are actively looking for the plane, which was last seen 12 miles offshore. The National Guard, Coast Guard, and Norton Sound Health Corporation are all involved in the search efforts. Weather and visibility have initially limited air search efforts, but a Coast Guard plane equipped with specialized equipment has been deployed to help locate the missing aircraft. Despite recent aviation incidents in the U.S., authorities are urging the public not to form individual search parties due to safety concerns. Bering Air is a regional airline based in Alaska operating around 39 planes and helicopters. The incident is the latest in a series of aviation accidents in the U.S., including crashes in Chicago, Seattle, and Houston, along with a deadly collision between an American Airlines plane and an Army helicopter near Washington, D.C. and a Medevac jet crash in Philadelphia. The search for the missing Bering Air plane continues, with support and resources from multiple agencies to locate the aircraft and its occupants.
