Two young figure skaters, along with their mothers and coaches, are among those killed in the deadly plane crash that occurred when an American Airlines flight collided with a Black Hawk military helicopter while on approach near Washington, D.C., Wednesday night.
The Skating Club of Boston said Spencer Lane and Jinna Han, along with their mothers, Christine Lane and Jin Han, and coaches Vadim Naumov and Evgenia Shishkova were on board the flight.
Both skaters had been attending a national development camp in Wichita, Kansas, which had followed the U.S. Figure Skating national championship this past weekend.
A total of 60 passengers and four crew members were on board the American Airlines flight and three soldiers aboard a training flight on a Black Hawk helicopter are presumed dead, officials told reporters Thursday morning.
