Authorities are working to recover the wreckage of a plane crash in western Alaska that killed 10 people while investigators are trying to determine what caused the small commuter aircraft to go down in the icy Bering Sea.

Two plane crash victims from the Bering Air plane crash near Nome, Alaska, have been identified. Rhone Baumgartner and Kameron Hartvigson were on the aircraft, which disappeared after taking off Thursday.

During a news conference at Nome City Hall Friday afternoon, Lt. Cmdr. Mike Salerno said a Coast Guard helicopter lowered two rescuers onto the sea ice. They identified three people inside the aircraft, and the rest are presumed to also be within the wreckage.
