#US & #Russian #FigureSkaters Among #Passengers on Crashed Jet

Members of the U.S. figure skating community were traveling on the commercial jet that collided with a military helicopter outside Washington.

US Figure Skating, the American governing body for the sport, said the skaters were returning from a training camp following the national figure skating championships, held in Wichita, KS. Russian figure skaters—as well as other Russian citizens—were among those on the plane.
