Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson’s Statement in Response to Lives Lost in the 1/29/25 Aircraft Collision in D.C.

Salt Lake County, UT—"I am heartbroken to learn of the tragic aircraft collision in D.C. that claimed so many lives last night. My thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to the families and friends who are grieving during this unimaginable time. Among those lost were several young figure skaters, whose immense potential could have taken them to the Olympics. Here in Utah, our figure skating community—coaches, athletes, and families—are grieving the profound loss of beloved members. This tight-knit community is deeply feeling the weight of this tragedy. May everyone affected find strength, solace, and comfort in the love and support that surrounds them, now and in the future."
