Small plane crash in Bahamas kills 10 people

A small plane crash in the Bahamas killed nine passengers and a pilot, according to officials. The Cessna 402 aircraft, operated by Flamingo Air, encountered difficulties during a short flight from Nassau to San Andros and crashed into bushes before landing. The incident occurred on the day of the Bahamas' 53rd independence anniversary, prompting Prime Minister Philip Davis to express both grief and condolences. Initially, a survivor was reported, but the individual later died from injuries. The Ministry of Aviation has suspended Flamingo Air's air operator certificate as a precautionary measure following two safety incidents, though the action is described as non-punitive. Details about the victims remain undisclosed, and Flamingo Air has stated it is cooperating with investigations.
