A regional airline flight that went missing in Alaska on Thursday has been located, with all 10 individuals on board confirmed deceased, according to the US Coast Guard. The small commuter aircraft was discovered approximately 34 miles southeast of Nome, the flight's intended destination. Two rescue swimmers identified three bodies inside the plane, with the remaining seven believed to be within the wreckage but currently inaccessible.
Among the deceased are two employees from the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium, who were on a mission to service a critical heat recovery system in Unalakleet. The nonprofit organization expressed deep sorrow over the loss of these individuals who were dedicated to serving rural communities.
