All 10 victims recovered from Alaska plane crash near Nome

Recovery efforts for the victims of the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan crash in Alaska, which killed all 10 on board, have been completed, with authorities confirming the identification of all bodies. The plane went missing on February 6, 2025, while traveling from Unalakleet to Nome, and was later found on an ice floe in the Bering Sea. A joint operation involving the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Air Force, and other agencies successfully retrieved the victims’ remains before worsening weather conditions set in. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has initiated an investigation into the crash, as questions remain about the aircraft's rapid loss of altitude and speed prior to the incident. Bering Air has expressed its gratitude for community support during this tragic time and is committed to resuming operations while ensuring the safety of future flights. The investigation continues as officials work to determine the cause of the crash and recover the wreckage from the ice.
