Two young figure skaters, two of their parents and two highly-regarded Russian figure skating coaches were among those killed after an American Airlines flight collided with an Army helicopter and crashed into the frigid waters of the Potomac River.

The American Airlines mid-air collision that claimed 67 lives, included six people with ties to The Skating Club of Boston in Norwood, which is the epicenter of the sport in the area.
