STORYLINE:
A jet with 60 passengers and four crew members collided with an Army helicopter Wednesday while approaching the Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington.
The aircraft plummeted into the Potomac River, and multiple people were killed.
Russian figure skaters Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov were aboard the plane, along with other Russian nationals, according to the Kremlin.
Coaches, skaters and others had been in Wichita for the 2025 U.S. Figure Skating Championships, which concluded Sunday, and a development camp.
Shishkova and Naumov were married and won a 1994 world championship in pairs figure skating.
The crash occurred in some of the most tightly controlled and monitored airspace in the world, just over 3 miles (5 kilometres) south of the White House and the U.S. Capitol.
