Plane carrying four people vanishes while flying over Bermuda Triangle

A private plane carrying four people, including two children, has disappeared while flying through the infamous Bermuda Triangle.

The US Coast Guard confirmed the twin-engine aircraft lost contact with air traffic control while flying over the Bahamas yesterday.

The alarm was raised after the plane, which left from Puerto Rico in the afternoon, never arrived at its destination in Titusville, Florida.  

The four people on board the plane, who are now feared dead, have been identified as Nathan Ulrich, 52, Jennifer Blumin, 40, and her two sons aged four and ten, ABC 7 reports.

The plane was reportedly flying at 24,000 feet and travelling at 300 knots when it lost contact with air traffic control over the island of Eleuthera.

The US Coast Guard said there was “no indication” of bad weather when the plane went missing.

The coast guard has deployed a search team about 64 kilometres east of Eleuthera.
