Bodies of all 10 victims of Alaska plane crash have been recovered and ID’d, officials say


The bodies of all 10 people who were killed when a regional airline flight crashed off the coast of western Alaska have been recovered and identified, authorities said Saturday.

“All ten individuals aboard the Bering Air plane have been officially brought home,” the Nome Volunteer Fire Department said in a Facebook postSaturday night. “Nome SAR efforts stand by for our Bering Air crew to complete their aircraft recovery operations.”

The small commuter aircraft carrying nine passengers and one pilot took off from Unalakleet and was headed toward Nome on Thursday afternoon before disappearing. The plane was later found on Friday about 34 miles southeast of Nome, according to the US Coast Guard. All 10 on board were declared dead.


The pilot of the plane was 34-year-old Chad Antill of Nome, while the passengers were identified by Alaska State Troopers as Liane Ryan, 52; Donnell Erickson, 58; Andrew Gonzalez, 30; Kameron Hartvigson, 41; Rhone Baumgartner, 46; Jadee Moncur, 52; Ian Hofmann, 45; Talaluk Katchatag, 34; and Carol Mooers, 48.

The crash comes just a week after an American Airlines plane and a Black Hawk Helicopter collidedin Washington, DC, killing 67 people, rattling the airline industry and spurring an expanded FAA safety review. That collision, along with the Alaska crash, are two of the deadliest plane disasters of the last decade in the US.

The wreckage is currently resting on sea ice that officials described as young and unstable, and heavy snow and winds in the area are expected this weekend. The plane’s wreckage was expected to be taken for further analysis, officials said.

“We don’t know how long that’s going to take. It could go hours; it could go potentially days. Coming up to tomorrow we have 18 hours of potential recovery time,” Jim West, chief of the Nome Volunteer Fire Department, said at a news conference Friday night, citing the ever-changing conditions of the crash site and incoming weather
