Everly, Alydia, Donna and Peter Livingston, four of the passengers on American Airlines flight 5342, are being remembered by friends.
The Livingston family was headed to Washington, D.C., from Wichita, Kan., on the evening of Wednesday, Jan. 29, when an American Airlines regional passenger plane was struck midair by a U.S. Army Black Hawk Helicopter near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. The tragic collision had no survivors and is the deadliest airplane incident in the U.S. since 2001.
The helicopter carried three soldiers, while the flight carried 60 passengers and four crew members, including the Livingston family. Everly, 14, and Alydia, 11, were sisters who competed with the Washington Figure Skating Club and were attending a Kansas competition. Their parents, Donna and Peter, joined them at the event.
