DC Plane Crash Victims Trained, Competed At Delco Ice Rink

ASTON, PA — Another Philadelphia-are ice skating organization has ties to the plane and helicopter crash that killed 67 people in Washington DC Wednesday.

The IceWorks Skating Club in Aston issued a statement Thursday on the crash.

"We are heartbroken to learn figure skaters, coaches and their families were among those onboard American Airlines flight 5342," the statement reads. "While all involved were not club members at our rink, many spent time training at our facility and competing in our events."

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

Among those killed were members of the Philadelphia Skating Club and Humane Society in Ardmore.

"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 club did not identify the names of the members killed in the crash.

American Airlines' Flight 5382 collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter at 8:47 p.m. Wednesday near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Sixty-seven people are believed to be dead.

U.S. Figure Skating on Thursday confirmed that several of its members were on Flight 5342. They were athletes, coaches and family members, the organization said.

"We are devastated by this unspeakable tragedy and hold the victims' families closely in our hearts," U.S. Figure Skating said in a statement.
