All 10 people aboard a small plane that crashed in Alaska have been confirmed dead, including a pilot and nine passengers. The plane was traveling from Unalakleet to Nome when it went missing. Recovery efforts were focused on retrieving the victims and then the wreckage, which was found 34 miles southeast of Nome. Three bodies were recovered from the wreckage on Friday. The victims were identified, and it was revealed that two of them were employees of the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium. The aircraft experienced a rapid loss in elevation and speed before crashing. Nome and Unalakleet, where the plane took off, are not connected by roads, so air and water transport are crucial in the region. Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy expressed condolences for the victims and their families, while Senator Lisa Murkowski praised the responders and community support in the wake of the tragedy. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash. The loss of the 10 individuals has deeply affected the local community, prompting an outpouring of support and grief.
