A small plane carrying seven people has crashed in the Atlantic Ocean off North Carolina after disappearing from radar screens, according to the U.S. Coast Guard and federal officials.

 

The accident happened at about 2 p.m. on Sunday when the aircraft, a single-engine Pilatus PC-12/47, went into the ocean about 4 miles (6.5 kilometers) east of Drum Inlet, on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

 

Seven people, including 4 teenagers, are believed to have been on board, according to Carteret County officials. Their identities were not immediately released.

 

โ€œThe aircraft was seen behaving erratically on radar and then disappeared from the radar screen,โ€ the U.S. Coast Guard said in a statement, citing an account from an air traffic controller who reported the crash.

 

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued an Alert Notice to alert public safety agencies about the missing plane, but search operations were continuing on Sunday night.

 

The Coast Guard said it launched multiple boats and an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter to search the area. Local fire department and National Park Service beach crews are also assisting.
