By Jörg Vogelsänger
Anchorage (USA) - None of the ten people on board survived the crash of an airplane in the US state of Alaska.
Rescue teams had recovered the bodies of all the occupants, the fire department in the town of Nome announced on Facebook on Saturday (local time).
Search teams had found the wreckage of the Cessna Caravan, which had broken into several pieces, the day before.
The plane was on its way from Unalakleet to the former gold mining town of Nome, around 250 kilometers away, on Thursday when it disappeared from radar off the coast. There were nine passengers and the pilot on board. The cause of the crash is still unclear.
Just a few days ago, the USA was rocked by two plane crashes in quick succession.
Not the first plane crash in the USA in 2025 to kill people
On January 29, an American Airlines passenger plane collided with a military helicopter on its approach to the capital, Washington. The 64 people on board the plane and the 3 occupants of the helicopter were killed.
Two days later, a medical transport jet crashed in the middle of a busy area in Philadelphia. All six people on board died, another person was killed on the ground and many others were injured.
