The cause of the accident is investigated

The National Transport Security Council sends people from different states to investigate collapse.

The radar data provided by the US Civil Air Patrol indicated that the aircraft quickly lost its height and speed, but it is unclear why it happened, the US Coast Guard reports.

CMDR Lieutenant Coast Guard. Benjamin Makintayr-Koble said he did not know any disaster signals from the aircraft. If the aircraft is subjected to seawater, the transmitter, which finds an emergency location, sends a signal to the satellite, which then transmits this message to the coastal guard. No messages were accepted by coast guard.

Flight is an important way to transport on Alaska

The huge landscape and limited Alaska infrastructure makes the plane a common cause. Most communities are not related to the developed road system that serves the most populated region of the state.

Some high school teams fly to sports competitions against rival secondary schools, and products bring in many communities of barge or air.

Who was on the plane?

The authorities said all 10 people on board the aircraft were adults.

Among the dead were Rone Baumgartner and Cameron Hartwigson. They went to Unkleet to serve the heat recovery system vital to the community water plant, Alaska Health Care reports.

The identities of others who died in the catastrophe are not released.
