Summary
Debris from a missing medical transfer plane was found off Nantucket on Saturday evening, while the Coast Guard said the search for the six people aboard was still underway.
The FAA issued an alert around 1:20 a.m. after losing contact with the Gulfstream G100, which had departed Bermuda at 11:41 p.m. Eastern bound for Boston.
FlightAware data showed the aircraft cruising near 24,000 feet before descending several thousand feet around 1:05 a.m., shortly before contact was lost.
Latitude Air Ambulance, an Ontario-based operator, said the flight carried two Canadian pilots, two Canadian medical staff and two passengers, including a patient picked up in Bermuda.
