The nation has been shaken by the devastating mid-air collision between an American Airlines regional jet and an Army helicopter, which resulted in no survivors, according to District of Columbia Fire and Emergency Medical Services Chief John Donnelly<\/strong>. The commercial flight carried many passengers, including several figure skaters<\/a> returning from a national development camp in Kansas, the departing location of the American Airlines flight.
