A missing plane with 10 aboard was found crashed in Alaska on Friday, a day after it left for Nome and never arrived, the Coast Guard said. There are believed to be no survivors.

The wreckage of the plane was found approximately 34 miles southeast of Nome, and three people were found dead inside, the maritime military branch said.

Seven others who were on the plane "are believed to be inside the aircraft, which was inaccessible due to the condition of the plane," the Coast Guard said.

"The Coast Guard determined the severity of the wreckage was beyond the possibility of survival," it said.

The Bering Air Cessna Caravan took off Thursday from Unalakleet, on the east coast of Norton Sound in western Alaska, and was headed to Nome around 140 miles away, officials said.
