Just take the L you bitter motherfucker and get back to paying respect instead of posting bullshit. Or, learn how to use Google; you could have saved yourself from posting your dumbfuck question.
You mad bro? I didn’t see it nor do I care about what he or you posted. I’ve paid my respect and you can kiss my ass. Just like MJ. Dude, fuck you
Yea dude said the fog was heavy. Tha fuck he doin 183 thru some fog and being that low
I HATE Jordan. It’ll never go away. I know it’s me but fuck him. As long as you guys like him, that’s fine. Me? I don’t
You’re entitled to “Hate” whomever you desire.
Yeah man.. Action figures. Cereal. Sister to the night and all that. No worries. That is one of the reasons I love coming here. Porn aside, not to mention what Fonz is doing is phenomenal, but the fellowship among the people here. We fuss and fight like family but essentially it's what any big brother or old head would do when a youngling would do something silly. Among that, we all go through things and grieve like anyone else and the people here relate and offer words of encouragement no matter what. Stay up fam!!
You probably should kill yourself now and get it over with.
like bro what the fuck are you talking about? Why are you crying?
You're right.... I say you send ur mother over to suck his dick....the bitch topped me off last night & literally sucked the pain away from me

Wrong
Kobe was class of '96... Paul class of '98....
It was Antoine Walker...Boston took at #6...
"I’m sitting here thinking about when we would be in practice scrimmaging and you would start the jump ball off with elbowing Sasha in the chest. Like dude it’s 10:30 in the morning lol."
Typo. Nice catch!Wrong

Updated article from TMZ detailing the errors the pilot made that caused this:
Kobe Bryant Helicopter Didn't Have Black Box, LASD Patrolling Crash Site
The pilot flying Kobe Bryant, his daughter and 6 others misjudged the terrain.www.tmz.com
COPTER PILOT MISJUDGED TERRAIN... Didn't Slow Down, Pilots Say
The pilot of the helicopter carrying Kobe Bryant, his daughter and 6 other passengers got in big trouble with fog -- they seemed to abort the trip and tried returning home, barely clearing one mountain range, but never slowed down ... this according to the flight tracker and several experienced helicopter pilots in the L.A. area.
As we reported, the pilot had to circle near the Downtown L.A. area -- near the L.A. Zoo -- for 15 minutes because of bad weather ahead. As we reported ... the LAPD had grounded its helicopter fleet because of fog at around the same time Kobe's helicopter took off.
The pilot was following a visual flight plan and was cleared by the tower to proceed north, toward Thousand Oaks where Kobe was taking his daughter for a basketball game. When he got to the Calabasas area, the fog became blinding.
As we reported, the pilot was way too low -- at 1,250 feet. The pilots we spoke with say it's clear based on the abrupt change on the flight tracker ... the pilot panicked and quickly ascended to 2,000 feet. We're told he cleared a mountain range by 100 feet, and the pilots we spoke with say he was so low he almost certainly saw the tops of the mountain.
The pilots we spoke with -- all of whom have extensive experience -- say based on the flight tracker and the accident scene, they believe the pilot felt he had cleared all of the mountains and was proceeding to head back when he hit another mountain. The pilot clearly did not know there were mountains ahead because he actually descended from 2,000 feet to 1,700 feet .. presumably to go under the fog.
Even more baffling, we've been told the pilot was extremely experienced flying in that area -- and was even a flight instructor. One seasoned helicopter pilot told TMZ, he could not understand why Kobe's pilot would have maintained a speed of 161 knots in such dense fog. One of the benefits of a helicopter is you can go much slower -- even 15 mph -- to gingerly avoid terrain if you're uncertain.
Our sources say the chopper was sophisticated and had an altitude warning signal to pull up, but it was too late. As we said, he was doing 161 knots and didn't slow down. The helicopter hit the mountain at that speed.
Several of the pilots we spoke with say the pilot should have gone up to clear the fog, rather than down. To that end, we're told the pilot could have slowed down to almost a stop as he turned, but didn't.
@4 Dimensional you were asking for specifics regarding the flight pattern, click the link and theres a video showing the exact route of the helicopter up until they crashed.

I love stories like this! This really turns it up a notch with Boston v Lakers
it's like the sit still hasn't sunk in yet. I mean I'm not f****** stupid I know any of us can die I know all of us going to die one day. I also understand that everybody bleeds. I also understand that everybody that lives can died tragically. so it did not take kobe's death for me to realize that life is short. The part that I don't get is this. This completely contradicts everything I have come to learn about the law of attraction. Law of Attraction States whatever you think it will manifest itself into reality. You think good things good things will happen. You think bad things bad things will happen. So you expect somebody that thinks negatively to died in a tragic accident like that according to the law of attraction. You expect somebody to think positive to experience positive things. Kobe experienced a lot of positivity and did a lot of positivity so I expected him to have manifested the success that he had pre basketball and post basketball. So now we have a situation where Kobe dies in helicopter crash. He's flown millions of times. LeBron said he just spoke with him. So he was not in bad spirits that would have brought upon the law of attraction to take him out. But nevertheless he died in a helicopter crash. So it's almost like how exactly does this Law of Attraction thing work. That's the part that I really don't f****** get. I mean I understand there's a Heavenly Father and no matter what his will is going to be done regardless but what about this Law of Attraction thing based on how I understand the law of attraction
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.
After reading through how experienced this is starting to sound more and like that Aaliyah crash...pilot told them that the plane was too heavy and that they needed to leave some stuff behind..the decision was made to go up anyway..and the plane crash...i dont know man...he would have known that it's too foggy to go up on the ground...its not like its something he saw when he just got up there...i dont know..

Today I became a Gordon Haywood fan.
To be fair to the pilot in Alliyah's crash wasn't approved or qualified to fly the plane, had falsified his experience and hours flown, and had cocaine and alcohol in his system when he crashes the plane.
This pilot was very experienced and knowledgeable but for whatever reason made a very poor decision on this day when flying which caused his others demise.

I felt the same way as you, I didn't post much after the news until tonight. Just wasn't into it.
Thank you for posting.
Ok, thanks for that information, I haven't been watching too much tv. I guess it's possible this pilot was unfamiliar with that area
Yesterday on my computer an alert sounded on my Citizen App. When I read the alert, I took a double look bugging the fuck out.. Shaking the phone as if the device somehow had a glitch and the words would erase. Immediately, showed my girl and she immediately went to her phone to start alerting her family and friends. This is how much of a significant impact Kobe left w/ all of us (even if you didn't know basketball that well). Saddened that lives were lost and saddened that times like this brings us all together. While alive... WE all MUST enjoy and celebrate the gift of LIFE w/ one another.
Off-Topic... As a youth up to the present age I'm at and comparing.... I've always questioned "Why is it that we tend to lose our melanin sport athletes and/or celebrities who perish or imprisoned at a quicker rate as opposed to our counter?"
WE are losing each other at an alarming rate.
R.I.P. my good brother, his daughter, and all the other members who were present on that technological device

I’m sad as fuck. This sit feels surreal after watching Kobe’s final game on ESPN
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.
