At least 12 people died in a crash involving an aircraft of First Air, which took place in Resolute Bay in the Arctic territory of Nunavut.

The plane had left Yellowknife and was traveling to Resolute Bay when it rushed to the ground by unknown casus. Rescuers in the city of Ontario already move toward the scene to try to rescue possible survivors of the tragedy.

Three passengers of the 15 people on board (four crew members) would come out alive from the accident but is not known with certainty what their health status is.

The tragedy occurred two kilometers west of Resolute Bay, an Arctic waterway in Nunavut with a community of about 230 people, many of which are native Inuit or Eskimos.
