A medical transport plane carrying six people disappeared while flying from Bermuda to Boston. The aircraft, a Gulfstream G100, lost contact near the Massachusetts island of Nantucket. The US Coast Guard suspended the search after debris was found in the area.
The search covered more than 7,081 kilometers over 66 hours. Authorities identified the four Canadians and two Bermudians on board. Rear Admiral Matthew Lake stated that suspending the search was a difficult decision.
The plane vanished in the early hours of Saturday. Debris was discovered off Nantucket, deepening the mystery. The search for survivors was ended by authorities.
This is the second such incident in recent weeks. A similar medical aircraft disappeared earlier this year. The Coast Guard has not confirmed the cause of the crash.
The incident has raised concerns about aviation safety in the region. Families of the missing are awaiting further information. The Coast Guard continues to investigate the cause of the crash.
