A light aircraft crashed into the sea near the Bahamas, 130 km from Florida, with all ten people on board rescued.
All ten people on board a light aircraft were rescued after the plane crashed into the ocean off the coast of Florida, about 130 kilometers from the Bahamas. The pilot had declared an emergency before communication was lost, according to the Bahamas' aviation accident investigation authority, which spoke on Tuesday.
The U.S. Coast Guard and several Bahamian agencies participated in the subsequent search and rescue operation. A U.S. Coast Guard C-27 aircraft was deployed to assist in locating the downed plane, a twin-turboprop Beechcraft 300 King Air. Survivors were transported for medical evaluations, the Coast Guard confirmed.
The cause of the crash remains unknown.
