A plane that vanished off radar 24 hours ago has been discovered amidst sea ice in Norton Sound, confirming the tragic loss of all 10 passengers and crew aboard.
The aircraft, which was carrying nine passengers and one pilot, disappeared suddenly from radar due to a rapid drop in altitude and elevation, making it undetectable. Search and rescue teams scoured the area, focusing on the plane’s last known location. After an extensive effort, the wreckage was finally located in a vast field of sea ice.
Rescue divers were deployed to investigate the wreckage. Three bodies were found inside the aircraft, while all 10 fatalities have been confirmed. Officials state that the cause of the crash remains unclear, and they are refraining from speculation at this time. However, initial reports indicate that the force of impact was the primary cause of death for all on board.
This incident marks the third most deadly plane disaster of 2025. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash, as the aviation community mourns yet another devastating loss.
