- The Coast Guard has located wreckage that appears to match a missing commuter plane that took off Thursday afternoon from Unalakleet to Nome, Alaska. The Coast Guard says the flight experienced “some sort of rapid loss of elevation and a rapid loss of speed.” NBC News’ Tom Costello reports.

Sincere condolences to the families of all those who have lost their lives, from the UK .
I am a "yank", and I am 100% team USA, but, first, I am TEAM HUMAN. God bless all humanZ, on OUR beautiful planet.
Thank you friend.
@@jwdundon Yes me too. I am also humanZ. This weather is lovely is today, isn’t it?
@@jwdundon Go human team 👽🥇
@@jwdundon human team is number one team ☝🏻👽
My condolences to the families of the loved ones who passed.
We need prevention measures to prevent such crashes.
HOW THEM DEI WYTE PILOTS AND DEI WYTE REPUGAKKKLANS WORKING OUT FOR YALL PLEASE KEEP FLYING THANX WHATS THAT NO. 8 PLANE IN 2 WEEKS
There were 10 onboard. They were able to extricate 3 of the bodies, the other 7 were too difficult to get out at the time. Condolences to all family and friends of all involved.
Not a good year to board a plane
Just the last 2 weeks
Shoulda told me that before I flew across the world 🌍
There's a pattern of increased aircraft accidents during the winter every year.
not going to be a good time to board a plane for the next four years
!!!! 🤣
May the families find peace and condolences😢
HOW THEM DEI WYTE PILOTS AND DEI WYTE REPUGAKKKLANS WORKING OUT FOR YALL PLEASE KEEP FLYING THANX WHATS THAT NO. 8 PLANE IN 2 WEEKS
God bless all those people who lost their lives and the family
Aw, so sad, may God be with the families!
I flew them flights for 10 years they know better to fly in them conditions
Who’s responsible for grounding a flight? The FAA?
That airline has 50+ years of accident free operations
If you flew those flights for 10 years then you know the weather out there and that you can take bad weather can come in really fast. And seeing that they were only 30 miles from Nome, tells me everything was fine before take off.
@@Jleed989 No. The pilot is ultimately responsible for determining if conditions are good enough for flight. In Alaska though, they fly in stuff like this often.
Yes human team is number one team ☝🏻👽
So sad. Praying 🙏 for them.
Zero zero visibility? You don't want to be in the air anywhere in those conditions, especially Alaska.
That’s why you get an instrument rating and remain proficient on your instrument skills.
Alaska is not for novice pilots. This is nothing new there. Unless you know the terrain, you can find yourself unlived really fast. Every pilot that ever flew Alaska knows you can lose it at any time.
@@scottfirman So true Scott. I'm a #NavyVeteranKorea. In my Navy yrs I learned your beautiful Seas are pretty rough too. Loved Alaska but not for sissies. 😉
@Plutogalaxy Bwwwahaha. Says the person who's not a pilot. Probably Never sailed or flown over. Alaskas terrain n Seas. I'll wager you voted for Trump too.🤣🤣
It was apparently weather related, not terrain
@@Jleed989 That's a logical response . Thank you.
Typical white logic 🤦♂️ this is the 3rd one this month buddy tf are you even talking about
I’ll paint my whole house with a q-tip before I get on a plane these days
I know that's right. Same here!
@@ChicagoGurl BWWWWAHAHA . I'd like to see you actually do that. I'd wager you could get a Special category win in Guinness Book of World Records award?🤣🤣
@@ChuckStewart-q3z Special Ed.
I have a trip to Florida coming up inevitably but it's not for business or pleasure. I live in Tacoma. I think I'll take a train. It's 90 hours as opposed to an 8 hour flight but I think my heart and nerves will fare better.
@ShmuckOnWheels Actually if you have the Time? A cross country Train Ride would be fun. But get a sleeper berth reservation too. And I hate distress you further. But in America there's average 2to 3 train derailment also WEEKLY In America. Just most are small n Freight trains. 😉
Where are the other passengers? I don't get it.
They are in the water

In the wreckage. They hit at speed.
“Coast Guard rescuers found the missing plane
They were able to reach three people and determined they were deceased, Lt. Cmdr. Mike Salerno said. It’s clear there were no other survivors, Salerno said.”
Thats what anchorage daily news wrote, guess the other 7 are not accesible on the wreckage
@@antonioaguilar5031 I wouldn’t trust anything that “news”source says.
plane crashes were a rare thing about a month ago
The public's awareness of plane crashes was rare until about a month ago.
The Media is just pushing fear for air travel lately
@BigBlueJake not really. Accidents yes, but hull loss accidents of a commercial flight? Until last month, the last hull loss of a commercial plane was 2009.
Reported for misinformation
@@BigBlueJake no. They’re just weren’t any fatal commercial crashes in the US because they had a functioning system that hadn’t been gutted yet.
So, so sad.

So tragic! God, be with these families during this tragedy 🙏
Those Cessna Grand Caravan planes are workhorses. Single-engine turboprop, good cargo capacity, up to 9 passengers. I rode in them a lot between Boeing Field by Seattle, and Friday Harbor airport on San Juan Island.
Workhorses . What does that even mean
Love the San Juans! Good memories in Friday Harbor & Orca Island.
Short hop planes in bush environments. These 9-passenger Cessna 208s are the workhorse of the Bering Air fleet, which has 16 other Cessna 208s in its fleet (aside from this crahsed (the Cessna 208 is still in production despite its apparent successor, the twin-turboprop Cessna 408, now in production). Most of Alaska beyond areas on the Pacific Coast shoreline are bush environments accessible only by air. This flight, from Unalakeet to Nome, was only a 130 nautical mile hop.
@@whoisayou7498 That they fly a lot. How's that tough to understand?
@@whoisayou7498 Horses used to pull wagons and farm implements before we had combustion engines. They worked hard every day and so do planes like the Caravan (especially operating in Alaska).
I flew on a seaplane down in the Keys, the pilot asked if I wanted to sit in the cockpit, absolutely!
He was barefoot, wearing cargo shorts and a tank top, said he flew bush planes in Alaska for years, have to say, never felt more comfortable on a plane in my life.

RIP 🙏🏾 🙏🏾
Oh 😮 these ✈️ r becoming scary asf RIP
The NTSB have their hands full it seems like here within the last 4 weeks. Prayers go out to all the families involved. Way too many air incidents here lately.
It is impossible to tell if you are flying upside down when the horizon is not visible, as both the sky and ground appear white over snow. Some pilots carry dark objects that they toss out so that they can spot the ground and remain oriented. The remaining bodies were likely flung out when the plane crashed and were quickly covered by drifting snow. Survivors would have started a fire in order to keep warm and to signal rescuers.
@@mrmelmba Overall an intelligent logical statement, explanation . Except the "Start a Signal Fire" part. It's most likely al, died on impact.
You can tell by instruments in the airplane
That's why pilots get trained to know how to fly in weather like that.
How awful for the victims and the families of those that were onboard these ill fated planes. It's really odd how these sorts of plane tragedies happen in 'threes.'
what the heck… why? where are the others?
@@webwhisper2701 COAST Guard still looking. This was a bad crash on Rough Open Sea in bad weather.
The plane is clearly crashed on land, not out at sea.
You can also see the back half of the plane is smashed.
According to others, the Anchorage news reported that rescue was only able to reach the 1st three but it was obvious the others had also perished.
Not sure why that wasnt reported here.
@@Holy.HannaH it depends on what time the report happened.
You have to remember journalist don’t guess they report what they’re told
@@neilkurzman4907 exactly, as well as other possibilities, which I why I chose not to speculate.
One thing I know about Alaska is everything and everyone gone missing for days, weeks, months, and years.
Well if they found the plane with only 3 people inside where are the other 7 ??
Squished beyond recognition Under seats
@@LorenR1962 that’s a horrible thing to say!
Unrecoverable at the moment
Those were horrible conditions to be flying a plane in!
Another one??? This is so sad!!
What a tragic week for US aviation. 😢💔🙏🏻
May rest in peace everyone
Duh, it’s getting scary
The provided photo of the crashed aircraft clearly shows the registration number N321BA, and that is the one that was missing.
Restful soul heart all
Condolences to all the families ! 🙏🪽🙏🪽
So many lives have been lost in the last two weeks still the chaos is going on in DC.
@@Thinkaboutit803 For what it's worth. Logically you can't attach this plane crash in Alaska to the weird Washington events. Flying over rough open sea in Alaska in bad weather never smart. No technology will save a flight where poor decisions led to fly in those conditions
@@ChuckStewart-q3z Dude are you seriously trying to reason with someone suffering from TDS?
Alaska. Canada's 11th province.
They could have bought it from the Russians but chose not to
@@trippinout.LOL. Pretty much.
@@Jleed989 True but even as One of our 50? It's still very different from our Lower 48. In every way.
Can they take Mar-A-Lago too? We'll give it to them for free! We'll even toss in MTG, Bobo, and Comer!
@@ICU1337 Well why not,lol. Trump thinks he can snatch Greenland n Syria. If we are going to draw new Global maps,,,,,,,,,,lol?🤣
This is ridiculous!!! That airport should have been cleared long before the aircraft arrived into the airspace and the pilot should have declared an emergency immediately when the formation of ice on the wings became apparent, or even well beforehand. It was clearly icing conditions.
This tragic. 😢
no mention of the other 7? really?? why does this seem strange too? and what was this other item of interest?
3 bodies found... Were there tracks from a group of people walking away from wreckage?
most likely thrown out in crash
ocean
“Coast Guard rescuers found the missing plane on the Norton Sound sea ice roughly 34 miles southeast of Nome, the agency said Friday.
They were able to reach three people and determined they were deceased, Lt. Cmdr. Mike Salerno said. It’s clear there were no other survivors, Salerno said.”
Yeah...the way said that was wierd. All 3 on board dead, no mention of the other 9.?
Not likely anyone survived that. If they did, hopefully they would be smart enough to stay with the wreckage!
Adults on plane, 😢heavy snow
Guys get this guy out of office.
You think this is Trumps fault? Stay clueless
If it’s your time accidents can’t be avoided
that picture does not add up. It went down in the sea? why show a plane crashed on land. and where are the passengers
Ice gets thick up there. (Look up Ice Road Truckers and Tougher In Alaska TV series.) Passengers are crushed inside the fuselage.
RIP. If it wasn’t for the sea ice this time of year, doubt they would have recovered anything.
Why aren’t they talking about the missing 7
That would require more work and it was lunchtime.....
Might be to grizzly. There are animals Out there
I don't think they've found them yet or determined if they are all in the plane.
This happens in Alaska. Extra attention on this one, though. Never a misstep.
Rip to everyone...
STAY CLOSE WITH THE WRECKAGE.
Always heard that on Mayday Aor Disaster
Lord, give their family strength
Wings level, thats a semi good sign. But thats a big hit no one would have survived sadly.
Someone want to explain why 10 people on board and only 3 are in the wreckage? Is it broken in half, or do we have people on a long walk?
Probably under the wreckage or in part of the wreckage that they haven't been able to get to yet. Looking at that break up of the plane, no one is walking
How many planes will be lost this year?!
Probably no more or no less than previous years,decades.
Ever since Trump became president this is a weekly thing now.
@@PyroShieldstell us more about things you don't understand
What goes up, MUST come down.
@@PyroShieldsYes, blame it on him. Go ahead. People need to laugh at someone.
Thanx tRump
You lot on the left are embarrassing to watch.
@@ukmedicfrcs You should wipe the drool off your chin before it drips on your shirt.
Looks like a flat spin, all four corners are there
another tragedy, rest in peace
Looking at the wreckage and radar data, the plane plunged straight down onto the ice. Everyone inside was crushed by the impact. A plane like would have reached terminal velocity of 150-175 mph when it smacked the ice. Human bodies don't hold their shape at that speed and sudden stop. The cabin's roof collapsing atop them would have turned them all into human sandwiches.
That plane looks like foil. Too small for me. Claustrophobia sets in for me.
Again!?😮😮😮
[ flips a coin ] - to fly or not to fly?! (for the next 4 years)
Life is dangerous, sooo, dangerous, none of us will get out alive. Live without fear to fully live. My 2 cents ....
Ridiculous comment.
Sigh... That's LDCR. (Lieutenant Commander)... Not LT.
Why? Why would you "demote" his rank that he worked hard for? 😒
I wonder why the pilot chose to fly instead of delaying or cancelling the flight due to the weather. Was the pilot pressured by the company to fly? There may not be any Black Box here so the instruments (if they survived the crash intact) may be the only way to determine the cause.
that's not how it works. It's not up to the pilot in those. Since the flight was over an hour long, chances are things were fine when they left. If these parts of Alaska weather can go from clear, sunny and no wind, to 60mph winds, cold and no sun in minutes.
what were the crashed plane's numbers on side?
N321BA from Bering Air.
I hope Trump doesn't cite DEI as the cause again
He will, or trans people probably did it. He only gutted the people that keep this stuff from happening. He wants distraction and human suffering for his debt to putin. Been known since the 80's.
@@hourbee5535 Don't hold your breath.
"Donnie's Excessive Ignorance"?
No but people will blame Trump for doing something
To cause this !
@@josephpadula2283you mean like gutting the FAA safety commission?
All these incidents expose how vulnerable and outdated our Air Transportation infrastructure is, Including Air Planes
I don't think they do. But still wise to pay attention.
Sounds like what happened in Philadelphia. So sad.
Not sure if its a straight down spin crash, perhaps in the holding pattern.
It is on sea ice - a nosedive might have punched through. But a stall of some sort seems very likely.
Iced up
Is this 3 or 4 flights that have gone down? 🙏🏼 please take care, folks 🙏🏼
Once is a coincidence, twice is a pattern, thrice is... Enemy action?
If there were ten, they found 3 deceased, where are the other 7? Did they update passenger logs? Where do 7 more bodies go if no one survived? This story is a bit confusing.
No just barely adequate as usual.....
in the water or eaten well never know but most likely this is it
They're in the wreckage. They just haven't identified them as separate bodies yet.
It was an ocean crash. They could have been ejected from the cabin and landed in the water. There's also polar bears and orcas that could scavenge the carcasses
@bungiefan it was a crash onto sea ice. Nothing is in the water. All 10 are in the wreckage.
Was the pilot using his auto pilot?
Way too many aircraft disasters for my money...my prayers continue to go out for all that have been lost..😢
I’m waiting on the Doofus in Chief to cite DEI as the cause of this.
Ask Timmy what happened. He's not doing anything......
Do you realise the pilot of the helicopter had only 500 hours of flying time in 5 yrs? That's 2 hours a week.
Hello bots 👋🏼🤖
Where do you come from? Reddit?
@@TomAnderson-u2u basically every account thats a name and 3 numbers/letters after it is a bot, bot
You're waiting on anything to bring out your TDS. If there was a video posted tomorrow that showed a beetle eating a blade of grass, you'd find a way to work Trump into the comments.
Another one?
Very sad. Great job USCG! Semper Paratus.
Aviation is far less forgiving than the sea.
Why did this plane take off, knowing destination airport was fog and iced over?
Probably wasn't the case when they left. Weather out here can come in really fast. It can go from clear and sunny to 60 mph winds, fog and snow in minutes sometimes.
Amazing american engineering. Exceptional indeed
The remaining seven passengers are going to walk to Noam?
they're deceased.
Omg , what's going on w/plane crashes this year, so sad my condolences to the families.😔🕊️🙏💔
These things happen in 'threes.'
What's going on is the news and social media is reporting crashes you'd never hear about outside of where they happened.
People would lose their minds if car crashes were reported nationally the way plane crashes have been recently.
no ELT? that is bad to start with
Elt are mounted to activate with horizontal g load. Not vertical. It happens.
Does anybody remember Butte, Montana plane crash in 2009?!
No, when did that happen?
@purplemoonbeam If you look up online as an entire family from California traveled to Montana for a ski trip.
Okay now what is going on with planes?
Its the news making people aware of every crash around the country.
The Caravan isn’t a great aircraft in icing conditions, too slow to properly blow the ice from the boots. This one may have had TKS but then your time limited by the fluid. That overwater route is too risky for a slow, single engine aircraft.
Plus the Brazil and Phillipines’ crashes. What’s going on
Something going amiss
More like a missing
@@balakrishnananand6729 Yes,,,bad weather over very tough open Seas. Alaska is renowned for this.
yeah , your grey matter
No, just the news running with something that gets people to watch.
1:55 "It comes after a string of aviation disasters."
Two previous aviation disasters is not a "string", NBC News.
What do you call three?
when the last one happened 16 years ago, before the first of three in a week, that's a string
Technically 3 including the incident with F35 in Alaska. But yeah. The more appropriate description is string or high profile aviation incidents.
Sounds like something the poorly educated would say.
@@kylemanson9355a trio
Oh, no. 🙏🏼✨💫😢 please lord, protect us.💫✨🙏🏼
Y fly in these conditions???
Just the realities of life in Alaska.
@BigBlueJake ✅✅✅
Drones, man. Coordinated, meticulous attacks with drones. It could be swarms of micro drones.
This is wy you do not fly
DEI strikes again
Commuter plane crash.
What an embarrassing comment.
What normal conversation uses the evasive expressions the coast guard representative is using. Today I may have listen to something of no interest in this video segment, I am waiting to see if I finish or return to hear the conclusi,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
LA fire, Crashes from Washington, Philadelphia, Seattle, & Alaska.....what's next...?
What if every car accident was broadcast on the news too?
Lord Jesus, Help!! 🙏✝️🕊️
Remind me to never get that guy to explain anything to anyone ever!.." we seem have spotted something somewhere...the appear to have lost altide at some point"..rwally!..capt fricken obvious
Probably the 7 got out and went looking for help😢
Report mentioned 50mph wind. Not survivable without right gear.. : (
I don't think you have any concept of where they went down. It's the ice of the Bering Sea. There is nowhere to go for help.
Too 🥶 cold. Most likely thrown out
everyone died in the wreck. They're either under it, or in parts of it that they couldn't get to yet. Look at that breakup of the plane no way anyone survived that.
