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

Two highly-regarded Russian figure skating coaches whose son recently finished fourth at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships were among those feared dead after an American Airlines flight collided with an Army helicopter and crashed into the frigid waters of the Potomac River Wednesday night.

The American Airlines mid-air collision that claimed 67 lives, included six people with ties to The Skating Club of Boston in Norwood, which is the epicenter of the sport in the area.

The ice skating community in Boston is mourning the loss of some of its members who died in the airplane crash near DCA.

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.
