The Skating Club of Boston lost two coaches, two young skaters and their two mothers in the deadly crash of American Airlines Flight 5342 in Washington, D.C.

A Boston-area skating club reportedly lost two skaters, their mothers, and two coaches in the mid-air plane collision in Washington, D.C.

Jinna Han and Spencer Lane, two skaters training at the Norwood club, and their mothers were killed. Two coaches at the facility were also among the victims.

The Skating Club of Boston, which lost six community members in the D.C. plane crash, suffered a similar tragedy in 1961.

Passengers aboard the American Airlines flight that collided with an Army helicopter and crashed into the Potomac River included athletes returning from the U.S.

A pair of young figure skaters, their mothers, and two Russian coaches were among the 60 passengers on board the jet.

Among those seeking comfort in the close-knit skating community were two Olympians, Nancy Kerrigan and Dr. Tenley Albright, and a former national champion, Paul George.

My response was to be with people I care about and love, and I needed support,” said Nancy Kerrigan. “That’s why I’m here. It’s a shock.”
