Off The Record
Every Verified Passenger On The Tragically Crashed American Airlines Flight
Thirty of the 67 individuals who perished in the collision between a commercial jet and a military helicopter in Washington, DC, have been identified.
The victims were the 14-year-old figure skating sisters Everly and 11-year-old Alydia Livingston, as well as Asra Hussain, the husband of the guy who revealed that he prayed she would be rescued out of the sea shortly after the disaster.
An American Airlines-owned PSA Airlines plane struck a Black Hawk helicopter carrying three soldiers participating in a training flight in midair at 8:47 p.m. ET (January 29), a US military official said.
Flight 5342 had taken off from Wichita, Kansas, and was making its way to Ronald Reagan National Airport for a landing.
The chopper and the airliner, which had 60 passengers and four crew members on board, both fell into the Potomac River.
The whole list of confirmed dead includes 26-year-old Asra Hussain, whose husband, Hamaad Raza, told WUSA9 that he had communicated with her just minutes prior to the event.
“I’m just praying that someone is pulling her out of the river right now as we speak, that’s all I can pray for, I’m just praying to God,” Raza told the news outlet. “She texted me that they were landing in 20 minutes.”
He explained that the remainder of his texts were not delivered, saying, “That’s when I realized something was up.”
Asra Hussain, First Officer Samuel Lilley, Captain Jonathan Campos, Danasia Elder, Ian Epstein, Spencer and Christine Lane, Grace Maxwell, Evgenia Shishkova, Vadim Naumov, Jinna and Jin Han, and both were flight attendants.
Ryan O’Hara, a 40-year-old member of the Black Hawk crew Mark Stovall, aged thirty Jesse Pitcher, aged 59 Everly and Alydia Livingston, Natalya Gudin, Alexandr Kirsanov, Wendy Shaffer, Inna Volyanskaya, Sean Kay, and Angela Yang.
Kiah Duggins, Chief Warrant Officer 2, Sarah Lee Best, and Elizabeth Keys Justyna Beyer, 42, Brielle Beyer, 12, and Andrew Eaves, the Black Hawk Pilot.
Inna Volyanskaya was an actor and Disney on Ice skater who represented the Soviet Union in competition.
“She was one of the best skaters I’ve ever seen, honestly. She was one of the best pair girls to skate,” her ex-husband Ross Lansel, told News4.
“Just knowing the impact she made to all the skaters and everyone just hurts my soul, and just I wish all those kids that she taught, just my condolences, and I wish them — all my prayers go out to them.”
