Figure skaters Everly and Alydia Livingston, known as the ‘Ice Skating Sisters’ on social media, have been identified among the 67 presumed dead in the midair collision near Reagan National Airport on Wednesday.
Videos and photos show the two sisters skating together and performing their routines at various competitions.
Their parents, Donna Livingston and Peter Livingston, also died in the crash.
“I knew Donna in college. She was a wonderful, positive, and sweet person,” the Livingstons’ friend, Scott Molony, wrote in a Facebook post.
“I watched her life and family grow and evolve through social media, including the two beautiful, talented daughters she shared with her husband. They were clearly proud, loving, and supportive parents, devoted to their daughters’ love of ice skating.”
Media Talk Africa reports that no one is believed to have survived the midair collision between an American Airlines jet and a US Army Black Hawk helicopter on Wednesday night in the Washington, DC area.
The crash, in which 67 people died, remains under investigation by federal transportation authorities.
