that's what i'm thinking

if you look at the tragedies of entertainers and celebs dying in flights, there is always some element of time pressure to get to a gig or appearance, pilot misjudgment (aaliyah, jfk jr), and usually bad weather (otis redding, buddy holly), or all 3 (kobe)

They call it Get-There-Itis and actually a term recognized at the American Pilots Association

Holy shit, dude. I just pulled the weather observations for LA County during Kobe's flight time. This was a major pilot error. Visibility was only a quarter-mile!

Pilot was probably scared to tell his high profile client there would be a delay.

Somebody posted the video of the helicopter falling out of the sky. Damn, man. Just damn.

I didn't know what I was clicking on at first because it wasn't labeled, I just saw the blue sky. Reports from people in la said the sky was foggy, and the video of the helicopter falling out of the sky was a clear blue sky with a couple of clouds.

I wish I could unsee that shit

That video was not Kobe's helicopter. It was a helicopter crash in Dubai. If you listen, most of the words spoken are some type of Arabic.

I was around some homies I've known for a long time and I was disappointed on their views, niggaz wanted to still compare Kobe with LeBron, niggaz even showed a video of a conspiracy crash and I wasn't feeling it, I want to distance myself from people, I guess people life be so f'd up, this is how they react.

Hope she gets fired, and more follow her. Seen a lotta BS on social media regarding Kobe today.



Edited to add another one: Matt Guzman


I see other people trying to bring this up as if he was guilty or something. Prosecutor dropped the charges and in the Civil case they settled which most people with money do just to get the case over with. That doesn't prove that he was guilty at all. If he was found guilty then I could understand them bringing it up but they know what happened and still they bring it up. :smh:

RIP Kobe & Gigi.

Been at work all day. Kobe was my favorite player behind Mike. I hated the Shaq & Kobe Lakers. Wasn't until Kobe was on his own when I became a fan of his. Kobe is a phenom in not just basketball but the sports world period. None basketball fans throw trash in the trash can and shout Kobe. It's shocking that he's been taken away. Prayers to Kobe's family.

This hit me so damn hard. He let me know that we could make it. Had no idea what he represented until this..his poor daughter and family.

Absolute pure insanity
Always had the greatest respect for Kobe with his intense work ethic, dedication and competitiveness. It is hard to grasp that he left this world so soon. Dude just began the next phase of his life. 41 13 for his daughter is way too young to be gone :smh:

It's always cliche to just say 'live life to the fullest' , but as I get older and lose more people in my life I live by that saying more than ever.
Life keeps on going.

Mamba and Gigi
and everyone else that was lost

Ok

This is the one where i broke down.



Cause my wife has a similar moment captured between my oldest and I

Almost mirror image.

My daughter doesn't KNOW Kobe like that but she was really effected strongly

Parents be careful with this difficult news and be mindful that kids process this stuff differently

So in the next few days while this is still fresh and gonna be all over the news, school and internet

make an effort to console them and just check in to see they OK.
