Debris believed to be from a missing medical evacuation plane has been found, the US Coast Guard said, according to Al Jazeera. Six people were aboard the Canadian-registered air ambulance jet, which had been travelling from Bermuda to Boston when it disappeared.
Search and rescue teams had been looking for the aircraft after it lost contact during the flight. The discovery of debris suggests the plane may have gone down over water along its intended route between Bermuda and the northeastern United States.
Air ambulance flights of this kind typically carry a patient requiring urgent medical transport along with accompanying medical staff and crew, which may account for the six people reported aboard. Authorities had not, in the material available for this report, confirmed the identities or condition of those on board, or whether there were any survivors.
The US Coast Guard is expected to continue search efforts and an investigation into the cause of the aircraft's disappearance. Canadian aviation authorities, given the plane's registration, may also take part in any resulting investigation.
