A PLANE with 10 people on board has vanished over Alaska sparking a frantic search amid dangerous conditions. The Bering Air Caravan disappeared from aviation radars with authorities now scrambling to determine its last known coordinates. The passenger plane was reported "overdue" when it failed to arrive at its final destination in Nome just before 4pm local time. It was travelling from Unalakleet with nine passengers and one pilot on board at the time.
