Senator Coons statement on reports of Delawarean plane crash victims

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.) issued the following statement after reports that three Delawareans were among those killed in last night’s plane crash near Washington Reagan National Airport:
“I’m devastated to hear the news that at least three Delawareans died during last night’s air collision. Sasha Kirsanov, Sean Kay, and Angela Yang went to Wichita to pursue their passion for figure skating. It is a tragedy that none of them returned home to our state. Delaware is a state of neighbors, and tonight we hold all of our neighbors a little closer. My heart goes out to Sasha’s wife Natalia, the University of Delaware Figure Skating Club, and every other Delawarean touched by the three of them.”
