US authorities were on Tuesday in a deep search in Bahamas for a small overdue plane carrying 4 New Yorkers (two adults and two kids).
The US Coast guard said the thin-engine MU-2B was east of the island of Eleuthera on Monday when the traffic control in Miami lost radar and radio contact with plane. The plane was on its way from Puerto Rico and never reached its destination of Tutusville, along the north eastern coast of Florida.
The plane boarders were identified as Nathan Ulrich and Jennifer Blumin of New York, along with her 4 year-old and 10 year old sons.
The plane was at about 24 000 feet & travelled at 300 knots when air traffic control lost contact.
"There's no indication of significant adverse weather at the time," said Lt. Commander. Ryan Kelly, a coast Guard spokesperson.
Coast guard aircraft were searching along with customs and Boarder Patrol and the Royal Bahamas Defense Force about 40 miles east of Eleuthera.
A Coast Guard Cutter was dispatched to the area to assist with the search.
