Doomed American Airlines flight was carrying elite figure skaters going home from a training camp



A tragic plane crash in which a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter collided midair with an American Eagle flight claimed the lives of a dozen or more elite figure skaters returning from a development camp in Kansas. The tight-knit Boston skating community was deeply affected, with two coaches and two skaters among the victims. The crash brought back memories of a similar tragedy in 1961 that killed members of the U.S. world figure skating team. Olympic medalist Nancy Kerrigan and skating legend Tenley Albright were emotional as they reflected on the impact of the loss on the skating community.
