John McWethy, a retired ABC News correspondent who had been at the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001 when it was hit by the hijacked American Airlines Flight 77, was killed on Wednesday while he was skiing in Keystone, Colorado.
McWethy died from blunt force chest injuries when he missed a turn while skiing on an intermediate trail and slammed into a tree.
The 61-year-old McWethy had retired from ABC News in 2003 but had served as a special correspondent from 2003-2006.
