A 12-year-old, who beat cancer as an infant, and her mother are among the dead after a deadly DC plane crash. An American Airlines flight landing at Reagan National Airport crashed after hitting a military helicopter. Everyone aboard both aircraft died in the resulting crash.
Now, husband and father Andy Beyer is having to pick up the pieces of his life. In an interview with ABC News, he mourned the death of his 12-year-old daughter Brielle and his wife Justyna. Both died in the DC plane crash.
They were headed back from the U.S. Figure Skating National Development Camp in Wichita, Kansas. The 12-year-old had been a member of the Skating Club of Northern Virginia. She also beat cancer at 4 months old.
“She was just such a fighter in everything she did,” he said, adding, “She just lived life to the fullest with everything.”
