In the aftermath of the fatal collision between an American Airlines flight and an Army Helicopter Wednesday night in Washington, DC the figure skating world is experiencing unique grief.

Former American Olympians and medalists, Dr. Tenley Albright and Nancy Kerrigan were among those gathered for a Thursday press conference. Separately, figure skating legend and broadcaster, Dick Button, has passed away.
