Recovery efforts for the remaining victims inside a plane that disappeared near NomeAlaska, are being damping for “difficult conditions,” according to researchers.
The remains of Bering Air flight 445 are in a touch of ice that moves approximately 5 miles a day, the president of the National Transportation Security Board, Jennifer Homendy, said on Saturday at a press conference on Saturday. He added that the area where Cessna 208 caravan also fells awaits some snow, which will hinder the complex operation.
“The NTSB knows that villages like Nome and Alaska Aviation are united communities, so this tragedy affects many,” said Homandy. “Know that we will work diligently to determine how this happened with the ultimate goal of improving security here in Alaska and the United States.”
Homenday said that the recovery of victims is the main approach of the NTSB, and secondly it is to recover the remains of the caravan. It was believed that the 10 people, including the pilot, died in the accident and three bodies have recovered. None of them have been identified.
Coast Guard of the United States
The Coast Guard said Friday that it was believed that seven other victims were inside the plane, but that “they were currently inaccessible due to the condition of the plane.”
The researchers told the CBS News Transportation Kris van Cleave correspondent on Saturday that the plane is not equipped with voice or data recorders, since it is not a requirement. After the recovery of the victims, the authorities will look for other plane components that store electronic data that can help paint a clearer image of what led to blockade.
The Bering Air caravan that initially disappeared on February 6 on its way to Nome experienced a rapid loss in altitude and speed, which led the Coast Guard to launch a search and rescue operation, authorities said previously.
