 Read More ||||| CLEVELAND (AP) — U.S. Coast Guard crews were searching Lake Erie on Friday for a plane that went missing overnight shortly after takeoff from a small Cleveland airport along the shore. 
 
 The Columbus-bound Cessna Citation 525 departed Burke Lakefront Airport late Thursday night with six people aboard and disappeared from radar about 2 miles over the lake. Why remains unclear. 
 
 Searchers had found no sign of any debris or the people aboard the plane as of Friday morning, the agency said. Coast Guard official James Cox in Buffalo, New York, also said no emergency beacon had been detected. 
 
 Weather prevented a boat search overnight, but a U.S. Coast guard helicopter and a Canadian air crew in a plane were being used. A ship also was headed from Detroit to help with the search. 
 
 The waters in the search area are about 50 feet deep, the Coast Guard said. 
 
 The plane was headed to Ohio State University Airport northwest of downtown Columbus. Cox said the plane is kept at a hangar at the airfield, but the six people aboard the aircraft aren't affiliated with OSU. Their names weren't released, pending notification of their families. ||||| The Coast Guard has suspended its search for a missing plane with six people aboard that has been out of contact since Thursday evening, shortly after takeoff from Cleveland's Burke Lakefront Airport. 
 
 "The decision to suspend a search is never easy," said Capt. Michael Mullen, chief of response for the Coast Guard 9th District. "I extend my deepest condolences to the family and friends of those who lost loved ones during this tragedy." 
 
 Representatives from the City of Cleveland and the Coast Guard will hold a joint press conference on Saturday morning at 10:00 a.m. to discuss recovery efforts. 
 
 The City of Cleveland is going to be the lead agency on search and recovery starting on Saturday. 
 
 According to a release from the Coast Guard, the search lasted 20 hours and covered more than 128 square miles of Lake Erie. It included Coast Guard crews aboard an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter, an HC-130 aircraft and the Coast Guard Cutter Bristol Bay, as well as an aircrew aboard a Royal Canadian Air Force CC-130 from the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Trenton, Ontario.

 The Coast Guard says it suspends a search and rescue case with extreme care and deliberation. After a search area is located and saturated with a maximum number of assets, resources and crew effort, and persons in distress are still not located, a decision is made to suspend a search for survivors.

– The Coast Guard has found no sign of debris while searching Lake Erie for a small plane carrying three adults and three children that took off from Cleveland, then vanished Thursday night, reports the AP. All passengers attended a Cleveland Cavaliers game before boarding the twin-engine Cessna Citation 525 and departing Burke Lakefront Airport at 10:50pm bound for Ohio State University Airport in Columbus, where the plane is normally housed in a hangar, per CNN and WKYC.
