A Bering Air Cessna Caravan, carrying nine passengers and a pilot, went missing on February 6 while flying from Unalakleet to Nome, Alaska. The aircraft lost contact 12 miles offshore in adverse weather, prompting search efforts by the U.S. Coast Guard, National Guard, and local fire departments. Ground searches continue despite limited air operations due to zero visibility, and authorities urge the public not to form independent search parties for safety reasons. This incident marks the third major U.S. aviation accident in recent days, raising concerns about aviation safety.
