I literally eat my lunch almost every work day in the park and from the bench I sit at you can see where they crashed, the photo you shared. Very sad even more so for the children

I give him a pass

Oh, I'm sorry, I misspoke! I AM a fan of Kobe, not a fan of deification. Of course I'm sorry that Kobe is gone!

No kidding and there is also testimony her telling her friends there she intended to have sex with him

She was after the money

The booty sex flared her off but that ain’t rape

That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking, the JFK Jr comparison.

Someone was overconfident and flying in conditions where they should have remained on the ground.

KNX is saying that there was another pilot on board besides Kobe. I don’t know how it can be known who was at the yoke since Kobe was licensed and often flew the helo. It was his personal Sikorsky S76, not something he hired for the day.

<reminds me of JFK Jr..got disoriented and flew straight down

Or the pilot was flying at a fixed altitude, got lost in the fog, and didn't realize that the ground was coming up on him.

According to Fox News Kobe was not the pilot.

If you have sufficient altitude to begin with and you aren’t attempting to land on the side of a mountain where you can tip over after landing.

More like JFK. I don’t recall seeing grown men cry on TV when JFK jr. died. I saw that today.

Let’s keep an eye out for anyone doing the investigation who suddenly dies.

For now, the news coverage of the crash will bury peach foty fi for the next couple of days. It is just coincidence, I am sure.

Last evening on NBC nightly news they reported a small airplane crash somewhere in the south east. There was one fatality, the pilot. Remarked to my wife why is this making the national news?
This crash, in contrast, is news and almost as shocking as when JFK JR. crashed his aircraft into the Atlantic off Martha's Vineyard in July 1996.

Since he is a Trump bashing leftard loon, then I don’t care. GOOD RIDDANCE to bad rubbish


Nonsense. Bryant was pretty apolitical as far as NBA stars go. And the rest of this comment reflects on you. Not him.

Your guess is wrong. Try again. I explained it - but I will for you: EEE is typical here in that he thinks he knows everything all the time and makes declarative statements when he has no facts to back it up - and sometimes people who shoot their mouth off need to be put in their place so they learn not to do it. And for the other person’s post - he did “think” it might be false - he SAID it WAS false...and maybe this isn’t the first time this has happened. JUST A GUESS.

The comparison is with how the accident occurred, not the public response.

JFK Jr ignored deteriorating flight conditions and put himself into a situation where he was disoriented, lost the horizon, and crashed.

The Kobe crash occurred in heavy fog and a low cloud ceiling. The pilot, which may have been Kobe, couldn’t see the ground.

“This makes me happier than it should. As if justice was done.”

You guys should learn how to read.

1. Bryant was a scumbag rapist.

2. The above quote is indicating that I know I’m wrong to be happy.

It just was my immediate response. Rapist freak is dead. Natural reaction. Even though one knows it’s not really good to feel happiness at someone else’s death.
