"The Philadelphia Skating Club and Humane Society is devastated to learn of the crash in Washington D.C. that took the lives of several members of the figure skating community, including beloved members of our club," the club said in a statement. "We feel immense grief at the loss of so many talented skaters, their coaches, and families. We share this loss and grief with the entire USFS Community."

The crash took the lives of Russian skaters, a U.S. figure skating coach, union members, Army soldiers, and multiple Virginia students.

President Donald Trump on Thursday said there were no survivors of the deadly crash. The D.C. fire chief said crews continue to remove bodies from the cold waters of the Potomac River.
