The United States is still grappling with the aftermath of its worst aviation disaster in decades.
Among the 67 lives lost in Wednesday night’s tragic plane crash in D.C. were sisters Everly and Alydia Livingston, along with their parents, Donna and Peter.
The Livingston family was just one of many who fell victim to this heartbreaking catastrophe.
Final Post on Social Media
Pennsylvania-based news station WTAJ reports that Donna Smojice Livingston, her husband Peter, and their two daughters, Everly (14) and Alydia (11), were among the passengers on American Airlines Flight 5342.
According to the Daily Mail, Everly and Alydia were talented figure skaters and dedicated members of the Washington Figure Skating Club. They trained at the Ashburn Ice House, a central hub for their local skating community in Virginia.
Just days before the tragic crash, their father captured a heartfelt photo of the girls in Kansas—one of many treasured memories of their love for life and skating.

The sisters’ passion for skating went beyond the ice—they were well-known on social media as the adored “Ice Skating Sisters.”
Their final Instagram post, uploaded just five days before the heartbreaking accident, showed them beaming in front of the rink at the championships, proudly displaying their ‘athlete’ lanyards.
“If you look closely at Alydia’s badge… We were born ready for this,” the caption read. “But is @usfigureskating ready for this much Livingston at Nationals?”
Just last year, 13-year-old Everly spoke with FOX 5 DC about her accomplishments in figure skating, quickly making a name for herself as a rising star in the sport. In a heartfelt interview, she reflected on both the challenges and beauty of skating, sharing her dreams for the future.
“My goals are to actually be a part of Team USA and travel around the world,” she said, her face lighting up with a bright smile.
