US figure skating team member Spencer Lane’s haunting final post from inside doomed plane

A member of the US figure skating team shared a photo from inside a doomed American Airlines plane shortly before it crashed in Washington DC. 

Spencer Lane, 26, uploaded the photo around 7pm ET Wednesday, which appeared to show the jet taxiing on the runway at Wichita Airport in Kansas before it took off for its final flight. 

He captioned it ICT -> DCA – the codes for Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

Other members of the American figure skating team were also onboard the plane. They were returning home to the DC area after attending a National Development Camp for young skaters in Kansas. 

Russian figure skaters Yevgenia Skhiskhkova and Vadim Naumov are also believed to have been on the plane.

Their Team USA figure skater son Maxim 23, was at the Wichita camp although it is unclear if he was also on the fateful flight.   

Flight 5342, which had 64 people aboard, collided with a US Army Black Hawk helicopter as it made its final approach to Reagan Airport after 9pm ET.

Spencer Lane is pictured on the podium during a previous tournament. He was on board the American Airlines plane that crashed into the Potomac River in Washington DC, killing at least 30

It split in two and plunged into the icy Potomac River.

So far, more than 30 bodies have been pulled from the frigid waters with the death toll expected to rise substantially.

The Black Hawk was on a training sortie, with experts questioning why it flew towards the American Airlines American Eagle jet.
