4 September 2022 at 19:15 Fear that a private plane will crash outside Gotland There is a fear that a private plane will crash outside Gotland in Sweden, reports Dagens Nyheter. The plane took off from Spain and was supposed to land in Cologne in Germany, but is on its way to Swedish airspace. German authorities are unable to make contact with the pilot or anyone else on board. A German fighter jet flew up to the plane to make contact with the pilot, but saw no one on board, says Lars Antonsson of the Sjö-och flygräddningscentralen to Dagens Nyheter. There must be four people on board. The plane was just before 19:00 over the German island of Rügen in the southern Baltic Sea and is expected to fly into Swedish airspace during the evening. It is in Sweden that it is expected that the plane will run out of fuel. – But it will not pass over land, says Lars Antonsson. A rescue helicopter is on its way to the presumed crash site.
