Plunged 14,000 feet in 2 minutes: Debris from missing jet found off US coast
A medical transport plane, en route from Bermuda to Boston with six individuals onboard, vanished over the Atlantic, prompting a search operation by the US Coast Guard. The FAA reported that the Gulfstream G100 jet, tail number CGRJP, lost contact with air traffic controllers around 2 am Saturday. The aircraft, carrying four Canadians, two Bermudians, two patients, and two crew members, was utilized for air ambulance services.
Reports indicate the plane experienced electrical issues before disappearing, as evidenced by audio from air traffic control. The plane plummeted 14,000 feet within a span of two minutes, according to data from FlightRadar24. The debris field associated with the missing aircraft was discovered off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts.
The Coast Guard is continuing search efforts, with the Coast Guard cutter William Sparling participating throughout the night. Bermuda's Premier and Canada's Transport Minister have expressed their condolences and emphasized their commitment to the ongoing search and rescue operations.
