Thirty of the 67 people that died when a military chopper collided with a commercial plane in Washington DC, have been named.

Among the victims were figure skating sisters Everly, aged 14, and 11-year-old Alydia Livingston, aged 14, as well as Asra Hussain - the wife of the man who shared that he was praying she was going to be pulled out of the water just hours after the accident took place.

At 8.47pm ET (January 29), a PSA Airlines aircraft, which is owned by American Airlines, collided mid-air with a Black Hawk helicopter carrying three soldiers who were taking part in a training flight, according to a US military official.

"I'm just praying that someone is pulling her out of the river right now as we speak, that's all I can pray for, I'm just praying to God," Raza told the news outlet. "She texted me that they were landing in 20 minutes."

Talking through his text messages, he said the rest of his texts did not get delivered, adding: "That’s when I realized something was up."

Inna Volyanskaya was a Disney on Ice skater and actor who competed for the Soviet Union.

"She was one of the best skaters I've ever seen, honestly. She was one of the best pair girls to skate," her ex-husband Ross Lansel, told News4.

"Just knowing the impact she made to all the skaters and everyone just hurts my soul, and just I wish all those kids that she taught, just my condolences, and I wish them — all my prayers go out to them."
