A Bering Air flight with 10 people onboard went missing over Nome, Alaska, late on Thursday, the Nome Volunteer Fire Department said.
The Cessna 208B Grand Caravan aircraft was flying from Unalakleet, on the western coast of Alaska, to the city of Nome and was last reporting information at 3:16 p.m. over the Norton Sound, according to FlightRadar data.
The plane is believed to have vanished from the radar some around the coast of Nome to Topkok, White Mountain fire chief Jack Adams told Alaska's News Source.
Speaking about search crews that have been dispatched, Adams said: "They're prepared to be out all night, they will search here until they find them or somebody else finds them. If they don't find anything, we'll probably rally another crew to go and help."
This is a breaking story - more to come.
