Reuters, Agence France-Presse, the BBC, and Swedish News Agency all reported on a small plane crash that occurred on September 4 in the Baltic Sea near Latvia. The group of four consisted of three adults and one child.

On September 4, local time, a private Spanish plane that was headed to Cologne, Germany, crashed just before it was scheduled to land. Strangely, fighter jets pursued the aircraft when it deviated from its trajectory before the disaster, but no pilots were found inside the cockpit. For now, the quest is still going on. Authorities assert that there is little chance of finding survivors.

The plane allegedly a Cessna 551 private aircraft registered in Austria took off from the southern Spanish city of Jerez on September 4 at around 3 p.m. local time on its route to Cologne, Germany.

The jet did two surprise spins between Paris and Cologne, extending its unexpected detour from its scheduled trajectory across northern Europe. German, Danish, and Swedish fighter jets were sent in an unsuccessful attempt to get in touch with the pilots.

Swedish rescue personnel said that while their aircraft tracked the plane, they were unable to find anyone in the cockpit. At after 7:30 p.m., the plane's tracker ceased showing its speed and altitude. After then, the aircraft crashed into the Baltic Sea not far from Latvia.

The pilot was one of the four people on board, according to the German news portal Bild. The remaining three passengers consisted of a husband and wife and their daughter. The search for the crash's cause is being organized by several nations.

?

The aircraft had informed air traffic control of cabin pressure difficulties before the incident, the Swedish news agency said. Once the aeroplane left the Iberian Peninsula, radio contact was lost.

Aviation safety experts claim that when there is a problem with cabin pressure, passengers on an aircraft, especially a tiny one, may quickly fall asleep and become paralyzed. If confirmed, this supposed "ghost plane" catastrophe would be the sixth since 1980 in which all on board were rendered disabled.

According to Lars Antonsen, head of the Swedish search and rescue operation, who talked to AFP, the plane was flying rather smoothly until it came close to the Latvian shore, when it started to struggle to maintain its height and ultimately crashed "when it ran out of fuel." Although there was no known explanation for the plane's detour, the passengers were "clearly hampered."

The Mirror reports that although parts of the plane have been recovered from the crash site, no human remains have been found. Lars Antonsen claims that there is a "poor probability" of finding survivors of the crash.
