Coast Guard searches for missing plane near Bahamas

The U.S. Coast Guard this week joined the search for a missing passenger plane that disappeared on the way back from the Bahamas at the request of Nassau.
The plane had four passengers aboard, including a married couple and their two grandchildren. The fate of the aircraft and its passengers is unknown, but authorities believe it crashed roughly 160 miles from Miami, The Hill reported.
“The Royal Bahamian Defense Force requested Coast Guard assistance following a report of a downed airplane with 4 people aboard approximately 15 miles off Andros Island, Bahamas,” the Coast Guard told the outlet.
Rescue efforts were temporarily paused due to inclimate weather.
