• Several members of the figure skating community were on the passenger jet, according to a statement from US Figure Skating and a report from Russian state media.
Hmmm wonder Olympians were on this plane?

"Several members" of figure skating community were aboard plane, US governing body says

From CNN's Piper Hudspeth Blackburn

US Figure Skating, the organization overseeing the sport nationwide, confirmed that “several members” of its community were aboard the American Airlines flight which collided with a helicopter in Washington, DC, Wednesday evening.

“These athletes, coaches, and family members were returning home from the National Development Camp held in conjunction with the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Wichita, Kansas,” the organization said in a statement to CNN.

“We are devastated by this unspeakable tragedy and hold the victims’ families closely in our hearts. We will continue to monitor the situation and will release more information as it becomes available.”

Meanwhile, Russian media reported that two Russian figure skaters were on board the American Airlines flight, and the presidential spokesman expressed condolences to the families and friends of those killed in the plane crash.

"There were other of our fellow citizens there. Bad news from Washington today," Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday morning.

Earlier, several Russian state media outlets reported that the 1994 world figure skating champions in pairs, Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov, were on board the plane, though U.S. authorities have not confirmed these reports.

Skaters on board American Airlines flight were likely youth development squad, analyst says​

From CNN's Antoinette Radford and George Ramsay

The figure skaters on board the American Airlines flight that crashed Wednesday evening were returning from the National Development Camp, sports analyst Christine Brennan said Thursday morning.

The camp is largely for youth skaters, she said, many of whom “we would expect to see bubble to the surface, rise up and compete moving forward, even to the 2030 Olympic Games.”
“It is absolutely tragic what I’m hearing. The community is devastated.”

“We don’t yet have numbers, and, of course, we’re not going to give any names out at this point,” Brennan said. “But it appears to look like coaches, young skaters, family members – and it could be quite a large number.”

The athletes had been returning from the US Figure Skating Championships in Wichita, Kansas, US Figure Skating said in an earlier statement.

“We are devastated by this unspeakable tragedy and hold the victims’ families closely in our hearts,” the organization said. “We will continue to monitor the situation and will release more information as it becomes available.”

Ok if accurate, why do you combine these two things….. 🤔🤦‍♂️





The helicopter involved in the collision was on a training flight and had belonged to B Company, 12th Aviation Battalion out of Fort Belvoir in Virginia, Joint Task Force-National Capitol Region media chief Heather Chairez told CBS News.

Reagan National is one of the most complex airports for pilots to approach​

From CNN's Andy Rose

The location of Reagan National makes flying into that airport one of the most complicated jobs for commercial pilots flying in the US, a former FAA accident investigator said.

“Not only is it (one of) the busiest, it’s the most complex airport,” said David Soucie, CNN Safety Analyst. “There’s military and commercial together. There’s flight restrictions on where you can fly, what kind of approaches you have to make, and there’s demands on how quickly those airplanes have to come in and out.”

I've read about this being the case. The military and civilian traffic in the area is exceptionally high and in close proximity. For security purproses the civilian flight paths are highly restricted and clearly defined for the weather conditions on a given day.

With the FAA and military knowing this, its crazy that these two aircraft tried to fill the same space. Someone was sleeping on the job.
