‘Everyone knows everyone’: Minnesota figure skating community reacts to Washington plane crash

‘Everyone knows everyone’: Minnesota figure skating community reacts to Washington plane crash

The figure skating community in Minnesota and across the country was reeling Thursday, in the wake of Wednesday night’s plane crash in Washington, D.C.

U.S. Figure Skating said several of its team members were aboard the American Airlines plane that collided with an Army helicopter — skaters, coaches and families returning from a training camp in Wichita, Kansas. That camp had followed the U.S. Figure Skating Championships.
