Story summary

On Saturday, a Gulfstream G100 plane carrying six people vanished while en route from Bermuda to Boston, prompting an urgent search by the U.S. Coast Guard off the coast of Nantucket. The FAA lost contact with the aircraft around 2:00 AM local time, shortly after it dropped from about 24,000 feet to 11,000 feet in a matter of minutes. Air and surface crews have been deployed to search for the plane, which was last known to be near Nantucket. The aircraft is registered to Latitude Air Ambulance, an Ontario-based company that specializes in medical transport flights.
