Coast Guard searching off Nantucket for missing jet heading from Bermuda to Boston - NBC News

The U.S. Coast Guard has located a debris field off the coast of Nantucket from an air ambulance flight that lost contact with air traffic controllers Saturday morning, it said. The search will continue throughout the night for the six people who were on board the aircraft, the Coast Guard said. Four Canadian nationals and two Bermudian nationals were on the plane, it said. The Gulfstream G100 jet was en route to Boston from the island of Bermuda, the Coast Guard said earlier Saturday. Air and surface crews were searching an area off the coast of Nantucket after it was informed at 2 a.m. that a jet had lost contact with air traffic controllers. The plane was carrying out a medical evacuation in Bermuda, said Clarence Togeretz, the director of flight operations at Latitude Air Ambulance, which operates the plane.
