Major Aviation Mystery in US: Gulfstream G100 Plane Carrying 6 Disappears off Nantucket Coast
In a deeply concerning aviation incident, a private aircraft carrying six people from Bermuda to Boston has mysteriously disappeared off the coast of the United States. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) lost contact with the flight ahead of its scheduled landing, prompting an immediate and extensive search and rescue operation by the United States Coast Guard across land, air, and sea.
According to flight tracking data and official statements, the missing aircraft was a Gulfstream G100 twin-engine jet. It had departed from L.F. Wade International Airport in Bermuda and was heading towards Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts. Shortly before reaching its destination, the aircraft experienced an inexplicable loss of communication and radar tracking.
Sudden Altitude Drop Recorded by FlightAware
Flight data from FlightAware revealed alarming telemetry moments before the disappearance. The aircraft experienced a rapid and steep descent, plunging from an altitude of 23,500 feet down to 11,000 feet in the span of just three minutes. The final radar contact was recorded at approximately 1:23 AM, just minutes before its scheduled arrival time, after which all signals vanished entirely.
Aviation experts note that such a rapid altitude drop points toward a severe onboard emergency, rapid depressurization, or catastrophic technical failure. However, official agencies have not yet confirmed whether the aircraft suffered a fatal crash or made an emergency maneuver.
Massive Search and Rescue Operation Underway
The US Coast Guard immediately launched a comprehensive search operation covering offshore waters near Nantucket. Units including Air Station Cape Cod, USCG Station Brant Point, and USCGC William Sparling were deployed to comb the Atlantic waters using specialized aircraft, helicopters, and maritime cutters.
