A Bering Air Cessna 208B with 10 people on board, including the pilot, went missing near Nome, Alaska, 39 minutes after takeoff from Unalakleet. Alaska’s Department of Public Safety is leading search operations, with local volunteers assisting on the ground. However, poor weather and visibility have forced a pause in aerial searches. The US Coast Guard is scanning the area, while ground teams have searched from Nome to Topkok. Authorities have urged residents not to conduct private searches due to safety concerns. The fate of the passengers remains unknown as efforts continue amid challenging conditions.
