A recent event occurred on Thursday when a commercial aircraft with a pilot and nine passengers vanished while en route to Nome, Alaska, as reported by CBS News. The plane lost contact just 12 miles from its intended landing site, according to Newsweek. The pilot had informed air traffic control that he planned to enter a holding pattern while awaiting runway clearance, stated the Nome Volunteer Fire Department. Local reports indicate that a Bering Air flight is overdue in Nome, prompting search and rescue operations. #8E445 took off from Unalakleet at 23:38 UTC (14:38 local) and last communicated at 00:16 UTC with coordinates 64.330212, -164.02679 at an altitude of 5,300 feet.<\/p>\n<p>This incident marks the fifth aviation mishap within ten days: On January 28, an Air Force F-35 fighter jet crashed during training near Fairbanks; the pilot ejected safely. The following day saw a mid-air collision over Washington D.C., resulting in the deaths of all aboard an American Airlines regional jet and three soldiers on an Army Black Hawk helicopter. On January 30, a medical flight crashed shortly after departing from Philadelphia airport, killing all six onboard as well as one person on the ground. Additionally, on Thursday another military-contracted plane went down in the Philippines with casualties among U.S service members and contractors.<\/p>\n<p>In Alaska, rescue teams are searching for the missing Bering Air Cessna Caravan under &#8220;severe&#8221; weather conditions including light snow and freezing temperatures around 17 degrees Fahrenheit according to Newsweek.<\/p>\n<p>BREAKING: ALASKA PLANE MISSING\u2014SEARCH UNDERWAY FOR TEN PASSENGERS Emergency responders in Nome are urgently trying to find a missing Bering Air Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX that disappeared after leaving Unalakleet for its scheduled flight&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>The fire department announced via Facebook that they are broadening their search efforts until they locate the aircraft which departed approximately 150 miles southeast of Nome.
