A flight with 10 people on board has disappeared over Alaska, which causes a hectic search.
The Bering Air plane was 'overdue' reported when it did not arrive at 4 p.m. local time in Nome.
It traveled from Unala wart with nine passengers and one pilot on board.
Crews are working frantically on establishing the latest coordinates of the aircraft, but the weather conditions in the area are so bad that it has the possibility of launching an air examination.
“We are currently responding to a report from a missing Bering Air Caravan,” said the voluntary fire brigade of Nome in a statement.
'We do an active land research from Nome and from White Mountain. Because of the weather and visibility, we are limited at the current time when looking for air.

'National Guard and Coast Guard and Troopers have been informed and are active in the search. Norton Sound Health Corporation is ready. '
Authorities have had to warn well -intended members of the public to prevent search parties from being performed due to the extreme circumstances.
“We ask the public to think of those who may be missing at the moment, but because of weather and safety problems are not individual search parties,” the department said.
“Families are encouraged to seek support at Norton Sound Health Corporation.”
Authorities said their last known contact with the pilot was when he told Anchorage Air Traffic Control that he was planning to 'enter a holding pattern' while waiting for the runway to be cleared.
The incident arrives less than two weeks after 67 people died when a Jet of American Airlines collided with a Black Hawk Army -Helicopter about the Potomac River in Washington DC.
There were no survivors on both flights, and all bodies have now been picked up from the water as an investigation into the tragedy continues.
This is a crushing new story. More come.
