Mysterious Disappearance of a Plane with Three French Passengers

Disturbing news emerged from Italy on Wednesday, September 18, 2024. A small aircraft carrying three French nationals vanished after taking off from Modena the previous day. Alpine rescue teams from the Emilia-Romagna region are currently conducting search operations.

Smooth Takeoff, Sudden Vanishing

On the morning of Tuesday, September 17, 2024, the aircraft departed without any issues from Paolucci Airport near Modena, en route to France. However, it abruptly disappeared from radar shortly after takeoff.

Challenging Search Efforts Due to Adverse Weather

The search was promptly initiated, involving air force planes and alpine rescue teams on the ground, focusing around the Parma province, about 50 kilometers from the departure airport. “Unfortunately, the current weather conditions, featuring rain, strong winds, and poor visibility, are severely hampering the search efforts, currently preventing the use of helicopters,” stated the alpine rescuers.

The situation remains uncertain and worrisome. The coming hours are crucial for the progress of the search operations.
