Overview
- A Latitude Air Ambulance Gulfstream G100 flying from Bermuda to Boston lost contact early Saturday, Oct. 3, after air traffic controllers recorded a pilot report of electrical problems and then a rapid, multi‑thousand‑foot descent.
- The U.S. Coast Guard located and confirmed a debris field south of Nantucket while search crews continue to look for the six people who were on board and remain unaccounted for.
- The aircraft, registered in Canada as C‑GRJP, was operating as a medical transfer with a four‑person crew and two passengers; officials have notified next of kin and Canadian and Bermudian authorities are involved.
- Flight‑tracking data show the jet fell thousands of feet in minutes before radar contact ended, and recorded ATC audio captures the pilot declaring an emergency after reporting electrical failures.
- Search, recovery and a formal investigation are ongoing with the NTSB leading technical work, the Coast Guard conducting sea and air searches including underwater detection methods, and officials warning that identification and cause determinations will take time.
