“ICT (to) DCA”, read the post on his Instagram stories.

The American figure skating said earlier Thursday than athletes, coaches and family members involved in its organization were on board the flight.
“American figure skating can confirm that several members of our skating community were unfortunately aboard the American Airlines Flight 5342 flight, which collided with a helicopter last night in Washington, DC,” said the organization. “These athletes, coaches and family members returned home to the national development camp which was held in collaboration with the American craft skating championships in Wichita, Kansas
“We are devastated by this unspeakable tragedy and hold the families of the victims closely in our hearts. We will continue to monitor the situation and publish more information as it will be available.”
