The United States is still reeling in the wake of the worst aviation disaster in decades.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sixty-seven lives were lost in the tragic D.C. plane crash Wednesday night, including sisters Everly and Alydia Livingston and their parents, Donna and Peter.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Livingston family was among the many victims of this devastating disaster.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final post on social media<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pennsylvania-based news station WTAJ<\/a> reports that Donna Smojice Livingston, her husband Peter, and their two daughters, Everly, 14, and Alydia, 11, were among those on board American Airlines Flight 5342.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everly and Alydia were talented figure skaters and members of the Washington Figure Skating Club, according to Daily Mail. They trained at the Ashburn Ice House, a hub for their local skating community in Virginia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just days before the crash, their father captured a photo of the girls in Kansas \u2014 one of many cherished memories of their passion for life and skating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sisters\u2019 love for skating extended beyond the rink \u2013 they were widely recognized on social media as the beloved \u201cIce Skating Sisters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their last Instagram post, shared just five days before the tragic crash, featured the sisters smiling in front of the ice rink at the championships, proudly wearing their \u2018athlete\u2019 lanyards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201dIf you look closely at Alydia\u2019s badge\u2026 We were born ready for this,\u201d the caption read. \u201dBut is @usfigureskating ready for this much Livingston at Nationals?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just last year, 13-year-old Everly spoke with FOX 5 DC about her achievements on the ice, quickly becoming a rising star in the figure skating world. In a touching interview, she shared her thoughts on the challenges and beauty of the sport, expressing her hopes for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201dMy goals are to actually be a part of Team USA and travel around the world,\u201d she said<\/a>, beaming with a bright smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family friend shares memory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

U.S. Figure Skating confirmed several members of their community were on board the flight, and tributes quickly poured in. A growing memorial at the Ashburn Ice House reflects the deep impact of the tragedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur heartfelt condolences go out to all affected,\u201d the Ashburn Ice House\u2019s management shared in a statement. \u201dThe figure skating community is a close-knit, worldwide family, and our hearts are broken.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
