The U.S. Coast Guard is searching for an air ambulance carrying six people that disappeared early Saturday, Oct. 3, 2026, off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts, after the pilot reported electrical problems and declared an emergency during a flight from Bermuda to Boston. Searchers found a debris field off the coast of Nantucket, Coast Guard Northeast District Rear Adm. Matt Lake said Sunday.
According to air traffic control audio, the pilot told a controller the aircraft was “coming in blind” as it approached the coast. The flight had departed Bermuda and was bound for Boston when it vanished.
Authorities said Sunday that the search continued and that crews planned to scour the ocean floor.
The aircraft was an air ambulance carrying six people.
The debris field was located later Saturday.
The pilot reported electrical problems and declared an emergency before the aircraft disappeared.
