Recovery crews worked amid freezing temperatures and slushy sea ice Friday to recover the remaining victims aboard a regional airline flight that crashed off the coast of western Alaska.

Just hours after finding 10 people dead in western Alaska from one of the deadliest plane crashes in the state in 25 years, authorities raced to recover their remains and the wreckage of the small commuter plane from unstable sea ice before expected high winds and snow.

A Bering Air commuter plane that went missing en route to Nome, Alaska, has been found crashed on sea ice, with all 10 people on board confirmed dead. The Cessna Caravan disappeared on Thursday after losing contact mid-flight.
