The tragic incidents are linked to various circumstances arising from the storm, including road accidents, cases of hypothermia, incidents involving snow removal equipment, as well as the overall negative consequences of severe weather conditions. According to available information, the bodies of at least six victims have been discovered, but the causes of their deaths have not yet been disclosed.
Among the tragically deceased are seven people who became victims of a business jet crash in the state of Maine. The plane crashed during takeoff amid a snowstorm, and only one crew member was able to survive — he was hospitalized with serious injuries. The causes of this disaster remain unknown.
Snowfall began on January 23 and continued throughout the weekend, creating snowdrifts up to 30 centimeters high. Arctic frosts and ice significantly worsened the situation, resulting in damaged power lines, leaving more than a million homes and businesses without electricity.
