Kobe Bryant and others Dead in Helicopter crash

[PLEX]

I swear to GOD man this hurt enough, but then when they said the baby was on board too. It really broke some shit inside me. I'm hurt about the other baby that was on board as well, and the fact both her parents were with her and she left behind a sibling. This ain't to minimize anybody else's death. But we watched Giigii grow up. On top of New Orleans losing two newscasters in plane crashes over the past few months, this shit was just too damn much. My heart goes out to all involved. If u have anybody u care for that's still in the land of the living fix whatever can be fixed while it's still time.

It's crazy. A few errors being reported. First, going up in that weather to begin with. Next, the speed they were traveling. Why rush in the fog when you already having issues? Last, was that they said he should have went above the fog instead of below it.

Those seem to be a lot of errors for a seasoned pilot. Other pilots are just making it seem like none of this should have fucking happened. I'm wondering if the pilot was hungover from partying Saturday night. Mistake after fucking mistake it seems.

Tragedy seems so fucking avoidable given that even the police grounded their helicopters.

The issue it seems was height the helicopter was cleared to fly. To keep it simple for those not use to flight terms.

If you were flying, the height that you fly makes a huge difference in the rules you have to follow. Flying at a low altitudes allows for more freedom to move anywhere at any time.

The higher you fly the more rules apply Because now you are occupying space that air planes and air liners use.

Flying above the clouds probably puts them in a long holding pattern, possibly up to an hour or more waiting on clearance to move.

The pilot should have come to a hover and turned around

 

[BrownTurd]

Actually they said he’s flown that area for years. He would/should have been familiar with the terrain and upredictability of the weather patterns up and down that part of the coastline.

Again, more questions than answers.

I would put it to you like this. You have walked around in your house thousands of time right. You know we’re everything is at.

If I were to turn off all the lights you would still be able to navigate through your house but what would be the first thing you do?

You would would walk “slow” Seems the pilot made a serious error in not slowing down

 

[BrownTurd]

No doubt.

I just don't understand why the pilot couldn't simply do a complete u-turn when he decided to return and realized he couldn't continue the trip.

He appears to be taking a longer route which resulted in the crash.

Obviously this shit is over my head but I hope to hear an explanation of this at some point.

In flight, spatial awareness is impacted tremendously. On the ground, your eyes, ears and brain can easily keep track of spatial awareness. Meaning you are always aware of what’s up, down and what’s to the left or right of you. That’s because of the force of gravity from the spin of the earth.

Now if you were floating in air, your spatial awareness would not be impacted because your eyes would take over and give cues to your brain and your spatial awareness would stay intact. If I were to cover your eyes while you were floating in air, you would lose your sense of spatial awareness. Meaning you couldn’t tell if you were upside down, moving left or right or ascending or descending

Flying can impact your spatial awareness when you can’t see the ground or other cues like the horizon to know where you are at. It is the main reason flying in heavy fog or clouds is dangerous because a pilot can easily lose the ability to know if you they are going up, down, right or left, especially traveling at a high rate of speed

Helicopters unlike planes can slow and hover allowing a pilot to get there spatial awareness back.

Seems like the Pilot loss track of where he was

Only about dogs, domestic violence, and to a lesser extent drunk driving. Selective what sins they deem unforgivable. They'll let you continue to play in the NFL though for each of these things as long as you're not black.

I noticed MJ ain’t said shit which to me says a lot about him. Sorry bald headed mf

He was one of the first ones to make a statement.

 

[SPECTRE1]

Damn, after Lebron, Shaq repudiated Kobe on twitter while giving him condolences. It is a cold world.

you should see the responses cacs made to this fam

I posted it earlier

CACs never miss an opportunity to let you know how fucked up they truly are.

On Twitter, someone mentioned in which I thought was rather ON POINT!

"TMZ broke the news that Kobe and Gianna passed away before his family was informed. I don't know how we're going to do it but we all need to find a way to get TMZ and Shade Room shut down!"

Is there not a consequence for this? ​

Not really a fan of TMZ but they're in the business of breaking news. I don't really expect them to sit on breaking news like that.... they don't have the same responsibilities of a police department. They're fucked up, but that's just the world we live on now.. everything is instant... horrible shit to learn about that on social media though

People who care about it should not give them views, clicks, etc in the future.
How they do it is because people don't have a real backbone to make changes against things they (used to) like.

There isn’t a law against knowing something before the family knows it and spreading it.

Experience breeds overconfidence. Same reason how drivers drive on the same road for years and end up crashing.

Rip to everyone on the chopper.
It's pretty crazy that other people wasted no time bringing up the false rape allegation though.

 

[TimRock]

I can't take anymore of these interviews. Shit is painful. I need a few days.

It was tasteless as hell to bring it up but Bruh Kobe definitely did that. There’s no way you can add the facts and defend that.

 

[Mask]

Man something about that site, I never cared for. I few times I saw stories the broke, I waited until another site reported it, so I could link the story.

I don't think anyone is arguing the facts of what Kobe did or didn't do.

We're more concerned with the fact that as people openly mourn a father, husband, public figure, world class athlete and all around good dude we have to be constantly reminded of a case in which all charges were dropped and the victim received an undisclosed monetary settlement.

Let us have a moment of remembrance before you put forth a huge effort in throwing dirt on his name.

All the people who are writing these stories would be mad as fuck if a family died and people started airing all the fucked up shit they did 20 years ago right at the moment their death was confirmed.... and Kobe's is still speculative. He never admitted he did it, he just admitted that she didn't explicitly "consent"..but what does that mean? How many people here fuck and ask for "consent"... .not getting consent doesn't equal rape (unless the person is unconscious).

 

[APOPHIS]

Man I feel so sad right now...
The more I watch and listen the worse this affects me...

Djokovic just broke down after his match. Said Kobe was his mentor and he often talked to him to work through bad times on and off the court. Amazing how many other superstar athletes leaned on Kobe.

And to push it a step further, how many of us have had sex with a chick where we were doing the most to get her to fuck. Pushing past all the "we shouldn't be doing this," "this isn't right" type protestations. I even had a girl tell me that she tells dudes no all the time, but if she's laughing while she says it, then she doesn't really mean it. Women tend to have weird and crazy azz views about sex as it is. Who knows what kind of conflicting feelings she was dealing with at the time. Only two people know what went down, and one of them is no longer with us.

I've never had the "we shouldn't be doing this" experience. My mind wouldn't be able to get beyond it and would immediately shut it down. I do know it happens ad women often don't want men to "give up"...so it makes it kind of a murky topic. If I remember the case correctly, it wasn't that she ever said "no". Someone can correct me. It's just that she said she never said "yes"...and apparently dude was "rough" with her and it caused her to rethink the whole situation, afterward.

. Women tend to have weird and crazy azz views about sex as it is.

A lot of women like to be choked, dominated, etc during sex. Actually a lot of women never experience that shit and it's one of their biggest fantasies. From my experience, women LOVE that shit if you do it within the "rules" so that they still feel respected.

Plus.. his accuser was bragging to her friends about the encounter before switching it to sexual assault. My guess she was a typical young groupie that felt bitter afterward when he ghosted her.

Which is why I said it was tasteless as hell. If they cared so much why didn’t they post it when he was being celebrated across the country on his farewell tour?
