A medical plane flying from Bermuda to Boston with six people onboard disappeared near Nantucket, Massachusetts. The aircraft, a jet operated by Latitude Air Ambulance, lost contact with the control tower early Saturday morning, triggering a wide search operation by the U.S. Coast Guard.

Search teams continued their efforts through the night from Saturday into Sunday. The Coast Guard announced that it would continue working to locate the occupants of the missing aircraft.

This incident has raised concerns and mobilized various entities, with details about the rescue operation and the status of the missing individuals being closely monitored.
