A Bering Air flight with 10 people aboard has gone missing while flying over 🇺🇸 Alaska in the US, prompting a large-scale search effort.

The plane, which had departed from Unalakleet, was scheduled to arrive in Nome at approximately 4 pm local time but failed to do so, triggering the alarm.

The flight was carrying nine passengers and one pilot. The Nome Volunteer Fire Department confirmed the search was underway, though poor weather conditions in the area have hampered air operations.

"The weather and visibility are currently limiting our ability to conduct an air search," said a statement from the department. "We are actively conducting a ground search from Nome and White Mountain, while National Guard, Coast Guard, and Troopers are involved in the efforts."

The last known contact with the pilot occurred when he informed Anchorage Air Traffic Control that he was waiting to enter a holding pattern as the runway in Nome was being cleared.

Authorities have warned the public not to launch independent search efforts due to the hazardous conditions. The Nome Volunteer Fire Department also urged families to seek support at Norton Sound Health Corporation.

As the search continues, officials are working to pinpoint the plane’s last known coordinates. The fate of the passengers and crew remains unclear.

USA is not fighting any war but they have crashed more airplane than Russia and Ukraine combined in the last three years

Russia is dealing with them seriously in Ukraine.

These incidents may be a ploy to mask their casualties in Ukraine.

US is seriously overrated!!!!

WriterNig:
🇺🇸 US aircrafts started experiencing so many incidents & accidents the moment they stopped buying aircraft parts from Russia.

Russia produces the world's best titanium and special alloys for aircrafts. They also make the best engines.

The US needs to humble itself and ask 🇷🇺 Russia for help.

Who's bigger than you is bigger than you.

It shows you have a beef with USA..
Have they ever refused you visa?

If yes....Pls re apply and show them all your nairaland post against them so may be they might reconsider you..
