The search continues Friday for a small plane that went missing in Alaska, with 10 people on board. The Bering Air flight was traveling from the village of Unalakleet to Nome when it was reported missing at around 4 p.m. local time Thursday, according to the Alaska Department of Public Safety, State Troopers.

Community members in Nome and Unalakleet are grieving a fatal Bering Air plane crash that left 10 dead. According to Alaska State Troopers, the plane consisted of nine passengers and a pilot. Troopers added that it was a regularly scheduled flight that flies twice a day.

During a news conference at Nome City Hall Friday afternoon, Lt. Cmdr. Mike Salerno said a Coast Guard helicopter lowered two rescuers onto the sea ice. They identified three people inside the aircraft, and the rest are presumed to also be within the wreckage.
