Both aircraft then crashed into the Potomac River and 300 responders are currently working on the scene in "extremely tough" conditions, officials have said.

There were 60 passengers and four crew members on board the jetliner, and three soldiers on the military aircraft.

US Figure Skating, the national governing body for the sport in the US, said in a statement that several members of its skating community were on the passenger plane.

It said the athletes and coaches were returning home from the national development camp in Kansas.

The number of bodies recovered from the crash site is "approaching 20", sources have told Sky News' US partner site NBC News.

Citing a police official, it said no survivors had been found yet.
