US-AVIATION-ACCIDENT

Sympathy flowers sit on a table alongside photos of people lost on American Airlines flight 5342 at the Skating Club of Boston in memory of the six Boston area skaters and their family members and coaches, in Norwood, Massachusetts on January 30, 2025. The close-knit world of figure skating was in mourning on January 30 after the passenger jet carrying athletes and coaches, including former Russian world pairs champions Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov, crashed into Washington's Potomac River. The plane carrying 64 collided midair with a military helicopter as it was approaching Reagan National Airport in Washington DC on the evening of January 29, plunging into the freezing river.
