Thirty of the 67 victims of the tragic helicopter-plane collision in Washington, D.C., have been identified. Among them were figure skaters Everly, 14, and Alydia Livingston, along with 26-year-old Asra Hussain, whose husband had desperately hoped she would be rescued.
The crash occurred at 8:47 p.m. ET on January 29 when a PSA Airlines flight collided with a Black Hawk helicopter. The plane was en route to Ronald Reagan National Airport, and the wreckage of both aircraft, carrying 60 passengers and four crew members, fell into the Potomac River.
Among the confirmed victims were Asra Hussain, her husband’s last contact with her being a message about the plane’s impending landing. Other identified victims include Spencer and Christine Lane, Grace Maxwell, and several Black Hawk crew members, including Ryan O’Hara and Mark Stovall.
One of the victims, Inna Volyanskaya, a former Disney on Ice skater and Soviet Union competitor, was remembered by her ex-husband as one of the best skaters he had ever seen, leaving a lasting impact on all who knew her.
