The crash of a jet that collided with an Army helicopter was the latest to strike the sports world in the U.S. and globally.
The American Airlines mid-air collision that claimed 67 lives, included six people with ties to The Skating Club of Boston in Norwood, which is the epicenter of the sport in the area.
Two teenage figure skaters, their mothers and two world champion coaches from Boston were among the 14 members of the skating community killed in Wednesday night’s plane crash.
