Organizers of a figure skating benefit event in Washington, D.C. said they have already raised $1.2 million for victims of the plane crash over the Potomac River and first responders.

Doug Lane's wife, Christine, and their 16-year-old son, Spencer, were among those who died in the crash. Spencer was one of six members of the Skating Club of Boston aboard the plane.

At the end of his figure skating performance, when the last note of his parents’ favorite song played in an arena packed with spectators and heavy with sorrow, Maxim Naumov dropped to his knees at the center of the ice. He remained there for what seemed like forever, awash in a spotlight, looking lost and sobbing.
