Mothers and their children, figure skating champions and a flight attendant living her dream are among DC plane crash victims

A plane crash left no survivors and only a trail of grieving families and the stories of their loved ones.

All 67 people on board the American Airlines regional jet and US Army Black Hawk helicopter that collided midair Wednesday night are presumed dead – a grim tragedy that has left a heartbreaking trail of mourning families in its wake. The somber day will be remembered as the deadliest aviation disaster in the US since 2001. As details of the disturbing catastrophe emerge and additional bodies are identified, the full weight and impact of the lives lost grows heavier. Here are some of the victims of the tragedy identified so far. Just weeks ago, young figure skater Brielle Beyer celebrated her birthday with a sleepover party her mom, Justyna Magdalena Beyer, organized with a movie night, tents and a rainbow balloon arch. The decorations are still up – but both mother and daughter, of Northern Virginia, were killed in Wednesday’s tragedy, leaving their family struggling to grapple with the enormity of their loss. “I’m just so in shock right now,” Andy Beyer, Brielle’s dad and Justyna’s husband, told CNN. “There’s like a place in my mind that I can’t get near with all of the pain and grief. It’s like the door in my house to my daughter’s room – I just can’t go anywhere near it.”
