⚡️A Search-and-Rescue Operation has been launched by Alaskan Authorities, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the U.S. Air Force, for a Bering Air Flight carrying 10 Souls onboard, that went missing earlier over the Norton Sound, while flying between Unalakleet and Nome in Northwestern Alaska. Searches are being carried out both over the Land and over the Water, due to concerns that “Poor Visibility and Weather” may have caused the Aircraft to go off its Course and crash while approaching Nome.
