The U.S. Coast Guard suspended its search for a missing medical transport plane near Nantucket, Massachusetts, after locating debris in the area where the aircraft lost contact with ground control early Saturday morning. Six people aboard the Gulfstream G100 operated by Latitude Air Ambulance are presumed dead, including four crew members and two passengers from Bermuda. The flight experienced electrical issues before it crashed, as evidenced by radio communications captured by LiveATC.net and data from FlightAware showing a rapid descent.

Story summary
On Saturday, a Gulfstream G100 jet carrying six people vanished off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts, while en route from Bermuda to Boston. The plane took off at 11:41 p.m. ET on Friday and was scheduled to land in Boston around 1:25 a.m. Saturday, but lost contact with air traffic control shortly before its expected arrival time. Both the U.S. Coast Guard and FAA initiated search efforts involving air and surface crews, including vessels from Air Station Cape Cod and USCGC William Sparling. The aircraft reportedly dropped from an altitude of about 24,000 feet to 11,000 feet before vanishing near Nantucket. Latitude Air Ambulance, the Ontario-based company operating the flight, did not respond to inquiries for more information.
