Searchers discovered debris from a missing six-person medical flight off Nantucket, Massachusetts, after it lost contact over the Atlantic on Saturday morning while en route to Boston from Bermuda. The plane, carrying four Canadians and two Bermudians, was reported by air traffic control to be experiencing electrical issues just before vanishing during an approaching storm. Preliminary data suggests the aircraft dropped sharply in altitude from around 24,000 feet to 10,000 feet. Aviation expert Mary Schiavo speculates that navigational instrument failure may have contributed to the crash due to poor weather conditions.

Story summary
On Saturday, a Gulfstream G100 carrying six people vanished while en route from Bermuda to Boston, prompting an urgent search operation by the U.S. Coast Guard off the coast of Nantucket. The plane lost contact with air traffic control around 1:30 a.m., shortly after descending rapidly from 24,000 feet to 11,000 feet. Air and surface crews from the Coast Guard are actively searching the area using aircraft from Cape Cod and Brant Point in Nantucket, as well as the USCGC William Sparling. The flight was operated by Latitude Air Ambulance for a medical evacuation mission.
