The Government of Bermuda confirms that an air ambulance which departed Bermuda for Boston early this morning, carrying six people, has been reported missing after contact was lost with air traffic control.
The United States Coast Guard is conducting search and rescue operations off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts. The Government has been in contact with the families of those on board and remains in contact with the overseas authorities coordinating the search.
Premier David Burt said, “My thoughts are with everyone on board and their families during this deeply worrying time. We are praying that all six people will be found safe, and we thank the search and rescue crews for their continuing efforts.”
The Government asks that the privacy of the families be respected and will provide further updates as confirmed information becomes available.
I keep thinking about all the families 😔… God grant them your peace and understanding, even if they don’t have all the answers. Let them know your hand is still on them 🙏🏾😢
