The Gulfstream G100 air ambulance carrying six people disappeared over the Atlantic early Saturday after reporting electrical problems and declaring an emergency, with search teams later locating a debris field south of Nantucket.
There were six people on board, consisting of four crew members and two passengers. Four of the individuals were Canadian nationals, while the two passengers were from Bermuda.
Air traffic control recordings captured a controller asking if the pilot was coming in blind, followed by the pilot confirming an emergency before the aircraft lost radio and radar contact.
