Coast Guard Ends Search for Six Aboard Medical Flight Lost Off Massachusetts

On Sunday, the US Coast Guard ended its search for six individuals aboard an air ambulance that disappeared while traveling from Bermuda to Boston over the Atlantic. The operation spanned 66 hours, covering more than 7,081 km (4,400 miles) before authorities decided to halt efforts for the four Canadians and two residents of Bermuda. Rear Admiral Matthew Lake, who leads the Coast Guard's northeast district, expressed that ceasing a search is a difficult choice, offering heartfelt condolences to the affected families and appreciation to the agencies that assisted in the search. The Coast Guard was alerted by the Federal Aviation Administration at 2 am on Saturday after losing contact with the Gulfstream G100. A debris field was later discovered off Nantucket's coast, Lake reported during a Sunday news conference.
