The last market had less-than-great resolution criteria. Hopefully this one will be a little better!
For the purposes of this market:
"Notable" means any of the following:
At least 3 of CNN, the New York Times, NBC News, Reuters, AP News, Fox News, USA Today, BBC, or NPR call the accident a "crash,"
The accident leaves 10 or more dead or 15 or more injured,
Someone with a Wikipedia page is killed.
"US" means that the plane was in US airspace at the time of the crash, or international airspace having taken off from the US.
"Plane" includes (but is not limited to) jumbo jets, helicopters, private aircraft, cargo planes, commercial aircraft, medevac flights, etc.
"Crash" typically means a plane hits ground violently (or the ocean, or trees, or buildings, etc.). It does not include other kinds of accident (such as, for example, a plane colliding with a vehicle, an on-ground fire, a cargo hold fire with a successful emergency landing on a runway, or in-air turbulence that results in deaths), but would include particularly violent on-ground accidents that involve a collision at speed (such as overshooting the runway and hitting a building).

Not yet enough for a YES resolution, but if it comes out that it went down with no survivors it will be https://people.com/plane-missing-alaska-authorities-confirm-8787547
@Marnix uhm, description specifies 10+ , I have taken 10+ to mean over ten not inclusive,. And this appears to have 9 passengers and a pilot
@Marnix actually I duckduckgoed and it seems that it is often inclusive like in age limits
@Marnix https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/aviation/2025/02/07/radar-showed-rapid-descent-before-bering-air-flight-disappeared-near-nome/ Is a coast guard statement enough for a YES resolution?
@AndrewSnowdon That plus this AP article describing it as a crash is enough for me. Resolves YES. https://apnews.com/article/missing-aircraft-alaska-search-10-people-eb496188285ed54c9a527f658d4ff70a
