Family members of the victims of the Potomac collision gathered at the site of the crash this morning for a memorial to honor their loved ones, according to an official familiar with the service.

Ten charter buses transporting the family members rolled onto the tarmac with a police escort at Reagan International Airport shortly after 9:20 a.m., stopping first by the crash scene before moving to Runway 33 — where the American Eagle jet was supposed to land on Wednesday. A large memorial wreath could be seen near the riverbank.

The loved ones of the victims exited the buses and could be seen standing on the runway along the Potomac River. Dozens of family members are present for the service, the official confirms.

Officials from National Transportation Safety Board and an honor guard of first responders in dress uniform are also present on the tarmac. 

Olesya Taylor, 50, and her 12-year-old daughter, Olivia Ter, were onboard the American Airlines passenger jet that collided with a military helicopter, The Washington Post reported.

According to the outlet, Olivia was participating in the U.S. Figure Skating National Development Camp in Wichita. Her father, Andrew Ter, last spoke to her hours before Wednesday’s flight over WhatsApp.

The identities of all three soldiers who were on board a Black Hawk helicopter when it collided with an American Eagle passenger jet near Washington, D.C., on Wednesday have been released.

The three service members along with all 64 people onboard the jet are presumed dead following the low-altitude collision over the Potomac River just before 9 p.m. that evening.

The U.S. Army released the identities of the three soldiers on board the Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk military helicopter, but said it had not finished recovering remains and making positive identifications.
