Our pilot came on the speaker and actually told us we were getting ready to land. Then he came on not even a minute later very flustered and told us there was just an incident at Reagan and that we were being diverted to Dulles. I’ve never heard a pilot sound so shaken. It scared me. Then when the news came in that many on the flight were members of the U.S Figure Skating team coming back from U.S nationals, I broke down into tears. I was an elite competitive figure skater for fourteen years. I couldn’t believe it. I was completely stunned and I could feel my heart breaking, breaking down into tears, Couldn’t sleep.

    I am going to speak up here and re-iterate others commenting, this was a stupid interview. Completely pointless!
    There are others with a much significant connection to this than just this guy. Like me for example, and I didn’t run looking for a camera crew after this happened.
    I was on a flight going into Reagan that was supposed to land at 8:55pm that evening. The crash happened at 8:49pm. The captain of our flight had already told us to prepare for our landing and the whole thing. Not even a minute later he got back on the speaker sounding very shaken up and said there was just an “incident” at Reagan and that we were being diverted to Dulles. I’ve never heard a captain on a plane sound so rattled. So my flight going into Reagan was right there as well, and our captain sounded very odd over the speaker when he told us we were getting diverted.
    Then I found out that a big group of people on the plane were members of U.S figure Skating on their way back from the U.S National Championships in Kansas. That’s when I couldn’t believe my ears. I was an elite competitive figure skater and a member of U.S Figure Skating for fifteen years. I wanted to start skating after seeing a figure skating show in Maryland when I was a little girl.
    The next morning I couldn’t stop crying. it was everywhere. The life I had lived, people I had known, my community. My heart is still broken and heavy.
    I would have had more to tell this news station. But even if I had the chance, I wouldn’t want to.
    I didn’t go looking for a camera crew at any time. I made one statement on one of my personal social media platforms and that’s it.
    I’m still shaken up over a week later. I keep watching all the stories about the skaters, coaches and parents who were lost.
    I saw my past figure skating clubs tribute to the victims on social media. I broke down. I’m still in shock. Figure Skating at this level is a very tight and connected community.
    And now my big brother has to fly to China tomorrow and I’m terrified.
    this guy’s “story” was a waste of space.

You have to have a lot of blind trust that everyone is at the top of their game when you fly. And I don’t trust people. I’ve seen what they’re like and they’re untrustworthy.
