A mysterious disappearance is unfolding in Alaska. A flight with 10 people onboard was supposed to land in Nome by 4 p.m. on Thursday, but it never arrived. By Friday, authorities still hadn’t found the plane. The search, involving both state and federal teams, is complicated by poor weather and visibility.
The Nome Volunteer Fire Department confirmed the flight was a Bering Air caravan, traveling from Unalakleet to Nome. Ground searches are underway, but the severe weather has halted air searches. The National Guard, Coast Guard, and state troopers are also assisting, while officials urge the public to avoid forming independent search parties for safety.
