The U.S. Coast Guard suspended search and rescue operations on October 4 for a medical transport aircraft that went missing over waters near Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, with all six people aboard now presumed dead.12 The Gulfstream G-100 aircraft, operated by Latitude Air Ambulance, a Canadian medical transport service company, departed from L.F. Wade International Airport in Bermuda at 11:40 p.m. on Friday and was scheduled to arrive in Boston at 1:30 a.m. EDT.2 The plane disappeared from radar around 1:25 a.m. on October 3 while en route to Boston Logan International Airport.1
The aircraft carried four Canadian personnel—two pilots and two medical staff members—along with two individuals from Bermuda.2 Before communications were lost, the plane's altitude had dropped from approximately 7,300 meters to 3,300 meters.2 An air traffic controller inquired whether the aircraft was "coming in blind," though the pilot's response was unclear.2 The presumed cause involves electrical failure that may have disabled navigation systems, leaving the aircraft in a state of instrument blindness.1 The Coast Guard located debris confirmed to be from the missing aircraft.1
