A young ice skating duo and their coach were among the victims aboard the doomed American Airlines plane that collided with a Black Hawk chopper, according to a report.
Youngsters Angela Yang and Sean Kay and their teacher Alexandr “Sasha” Kirsanov were all killed as the plane attempted to land at Reagan National Airport in DC, the coach’s wife told the News Journal.
“We always use American Airlines when we go to competition,” Natalia Gudin told the newspaper. “This time they go without me, and all of them are gone.”
More than a dozen figure skaters were on the flight traveling back from a competition in Wichita, Kansas.
All 67 people on the plane and the military helicopter are believed to be dead, authorities said.
