The Bering Air Caravan was reported missing Thursday afternoon after rapidly losing altitude and speed.

Looks like it has been found.

From the article:

The plane did not emit an Emergency Locator Transmitter distress signal that would be triggered by a crash or exposure to sea water, McIntyre-Coble said.

I wonder why and where are the rest of the passengers/crew?

Choppy seas and frigid temperatures had hampered rescue efforts, with the Coast Guard and Air Force both deploying teams.

From the pics it looks like it landed on land, not the ocean ?
Rest in peace to the three found deceased.
Hoping for a miracle for the other seven but it doesn't look good.
Imo.

According to the Associated Press, Cameron Snell, a spokesperson for the U.S. Coast Guard, said crews had not been able to fully open the plane and were continuing to search. “Right now we just know that there’s three."

All 10 victims have been recovered. No survivors.

So was it absolutely necessary that the plane fly in these conditions? Or were these somehow typical Alaska flying conditions? @GraceG, any insight?

I wonder if they crawled out of the plane, alive, and froze to death before they were located. Autopsies should tell us.
