The Coast Guard says it has discovered a debris field in the search for a Florida-bound plane carrying a mother and her two children, and another man. <\/p>\n
Authorities say the debris field is about 15 miles east of Eleuthera, Bahamas, about 15 miles from where the plane disappeared. <\/p>\n
On board are Nathan Ulrich, Jennifer Blumin and her two sons, ages 3 and 4. Blumin is from New York. The Coast Guard says Ulrich is from New Hampshire.<\/p>\n
Miami Air Traffic Control notified the Coast Guard when the MU-2B plane lost radio contact and disappeared from radar Monday at 2 p.m. It was lost at 24,000 feet, at a speed of 300 knots. <\/p>\n
The plane left Borinquen, Puerto Rico, Monday morning at 11, and was en route to Titusville where it was reported overdue.<\/p>\n
Coast Guard crews and authorities from the Customs and Border Patrol and the Royal Bahamas Defense Force are taking part in the search. <\/p>\n
According to the Associated Press, Blumin is the CEO of Skylight Group, which provides event space around New York City. AP says she owned the plane through a consulting company. <\/p>\n
