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.
