Coast Guard halts search for six aboard medical jet lost off Nantucket
The U.S. Coast Guard suspended its search for a missing medical transport aircraft and its six occupants on Sunday evening after a two-day operation off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts. The Gulfstream G100, operated by Canada-based Latitude Air Ambulance, lost contact with air traffic control early Saturday morning while flying from Bermuda to Boston. A debris field was located hours after the plane vanished, and the company has stated that the four crew members, one patient, and one family escort are presumed dead. Next of kin have been notified, and the focus has shifted to recovery and investigation.
