Possible Theories re Alaska plane crash (if a plane crash is not just a plane crash):
1. Warning to Secretary Noem?
10 people were obliterated on their way from Unalakleet to Nome, Alaska?
"The Cessna aircraft, operated by Bering Air and carrying nine passengers and a pilot, disappeared Thursday afternoon while heading from Unalakleet to Nome – cities in western Alaska separated by the Norton Sound inlet – according to the Alaska State Troopers. It was about 12 miles offshore when its position was lost, according to the Coast Guard.
"The aircraft “experienced some kind of event which caused them to experience a rapid loss in elevation and a rapid loss in speed” around 3:18 p.m. local time Thursday, Coast Guard Lt. Commander Benjamin McIntyre-Coble said."

2. Message to Elon Musk? Infrastructure?
A Starlink Gateway is located in Nome, Alaska. See pics - 2024 posts.
3. Infrastructure Under Attack There? (Two on board were on their way to fix a critical water plant heater. Someone may not have wanted it fixed (or whatever else they were really headed there to do?)
41-year-old Kameron Hartvigson of Anchorage
46-year-old Rhone Baumgartner of Anchorage
"Their work was crucial for maintaining essential services in the area… Both men were part of ANTHC's utility operations team. Their mission was to ensure theproper functioning of vital systems."

Interestingly, all of the articles accessed by Anon mention that these 2 traveled from Anchorage to Unalakleet to service a heating system that is critical to their water plant there, but nowhere is it stated, that Anon has found yet, why they were on their way from Unalakleet to Nome.
4. The Iditarod, the famous annual dog sled race coming up in March, commemorates the 1925 heroic (man and dog) relay of dogsled teams through Arctic blizzards to save Nome from a deadly diphtheria outbreak.

6. In 2022, the Coast Guard and "high level officials" were in Nome - discussing port expansion in Nome, expanded missions, and emerging threats
08/01/2022 “… the U.S. Coast Guard hosted a “Senior Leader Arctic Orientation” …“The two-day tour provided policy makers and mission managers exposure to the expanded missions, emerging threats, and key regional stakeholders throughout the Arctic domain,” said their press release. "These high-level visitors from Washington D.C. saw Anchorage, JBER, and two quick visits to Nome and Kotzebue. In Kotzebue they met with NANA, Maniilaq and the Native Village of Kotzebue." "In Nome they met with City of Nome officials and heard a port expansion presentation."
