The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has launched an investigation into the crash of a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan aircraft that killed all 10 people on board near Nome, Alaska. The aircraft lost radar contact on Thursday while en route from Unalakleet to Nome. The wreckage was found on an ice floe by the U.S. Coast Guard on Friday. NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said the priority is victim recovery and finding out what caused the crash.

“Recovery efforts are still under way,“ Homendy said at a press conference on Saturday. “The priority is victim recovery. Then we will recover the wreckage.” On Friday, the Coast Guard put two divers in the water and they were able to see into the aircraft, but it was largely inaccessible due to the extent of the damage.
In a press statement received by the news agency, the ANTHC identified two passengers as Rhone Baumgartner and Kameron Hartvigson, who both worked in utility operations for the organization and had traveled to Unalakleet to service part of the community’s water plant.
