A deadly mid-air collision between an American Airlines PSA flight and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter claimed 67 lives near Washington, D.C. Among the victims were Justyna Beyer and her 12-year-old daughter, Brielle, a cancer survivor and aspiring figure skater.

Brielle had just returned from a national skating camp when the tragedy struck. Her father, Andy Beyer, realized something was wrong when their flight never landed. Hours later, he received the devastating confirmation.
