A 23-year-old figure skater who lost both of his parents in the tragic mid-air disaster over the Potomac River revealed more details about the heartbreaking tragedy.

This includes how his former Olympian parents ended up changing their flight at the last moment.

Maxim Naumov suffered from the most heartbreaking loss on January 29 when the American Airlines plane carrying his parents, coaches, and more than 62 passengers and crew collided with an American military chopper near Reagan International Airport.

The tragedy’s investigation revealed how the pilot didn’t pay heed to her co-pilot’s instructions, who happened to be supervising her for that mission.

Therefore, since they were talking on a microphone, a lot of the details shared in the final moments before the crash by the Control Traffic Tower were muted, leading to the collision.

Maxim mentioned how the couple was supposed to catch a flight returning from the US Figure Skating Championship and training camp in Wichita before opting to hop on the ill-fated American Airlines Flight 5342.
