Rhode Island native and figure skater Spencer Lane and his mother, Christine, were two of the people who were on board an American Airlines flight that collided with a military helicopter over the Potomac River on Wednesday night,

They include skater Spencer Lane, whom Zeghibe described as a "highly talented" figure skater, and his mother Christine Lane. "Spencer, in the best way possible, was a crazy kid," Zeghibe said. Zeghibe said Spencer Lane "has not been skating that long, and just rocketed to the top of the sport."
