Kobe Bryant died in a helicoper crash in Calabasas Sunday morning ... TMZ Sports has confirmed.
Kobe was traveling with at least 3 other people in his private helicopter when it went down. A fire broke out. Emergency personnel responded, but nobody on board survived. 5 people are confirmed dead. We're told Vanessa Bryant was not among those on board.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.

1h Via @flightradar24 - here's the speed and altitude graph for the S-76B Kobe Bryant was flying in. The helicopter is 29-years-old. Its certification was good until Sept. 30, 2021, per FAA. This was the second flight of the day, it previously flew from LGB to SNA in Orange County.
“Oh, so admit youre a lowlife.”
I am definitely a sinner saved by grace.
I’m sorry to hear Kobe Bryant raped you. Perhaps you should seek counseling rather than relive your trauma here.
It makes me wonder...
The helicopter took off and flew at around 1,000 ft. altitude.
It looks like midway through the flight the helicopter hovered (slowed to minimal speed) for awhile, perhaps letting the passengers see some sights in a helicopter (weather permitting), and then picked up speed again to travel to their destination.
At the end, the pilot has his "oh, crap" moment, guns the engine and pulls up rapidly before the helicopter falls.
So, he either: 1) was flying into an obstacle (power lines?), 2) didn't see an approaching hillside, 3) or panicked and lost his lift after turning and revving too hard (tilted too far to the side?).
I'm not a pilot, so this is just presumption on my part.

Is the time scale minutes and seconds or hours and minutes (with hours being Zulu time)?
What do you have besides that slut who had three different types of semen inside of her and refuse to testify and immediately declared for the money

Air traffic control recording of Kobe Bryant crash.
Start from the beginning, Kobe Bryant’s helicopter is cleared for “special VFR” (almost always a bad idea, just saying...). He reads back the clearance at around 2:20 in the audio.

Gets sent to Van Nuys at around (N72EX is the tail number), you can pick it up again here at the same time stamp that they get sent to this frequency, around 5:20, but unfortunately this recording isn’t picking up the responses, just the tower controller.

They pick up again in the link in the original tweet at 16:20, SoCal approach wasn’t expecting them. They ask for radar service but they’re too low for the controller to see them on the radar, request denied.
Next thought might be that other children were on the helicopter, which might be why it's taking the coroner so long to identify and notify next of kin.

You’re referring to the Colorado case? At least I know what you’re talking about.
He admitted having anal sex with her shortly after meeting her. His defense was anal sex immediately after meeting her was consensual and she was paid off out of prudence, not because he was admitting any wrongdoing.
Thanks for the info that it was a gang rape.
“Im sorry to hear Kobe Bryant raped you.”
Kobe Bryant did not rape me. It was consensual. Lol.
You’ve gone off your rocker.
You just sound worse the more you explain.
Jim Gray said it was his tournament, and he was coaching his daughter's team. Perhaps the whole team was on the helicopter: Bryant, his daughter, the pilot, another parent, and five other girls?
So sad.

The pilot had requested Special VFR clearance. It means that he knew visibility was poor before proceeding.
People there could hear the copter above them but couldn’t see it. Calbasas is 928’ above sea level, radar tracking had the helo at 1,300’ when they lost it.
Pilot appears to have been attempting to reverse course when he plowed into a hill he couldn’t see. CFIT, controlled flight into terrain.
Oh, dear.
I’ll take your word for it as I know nothing about helicopter driving.
Dont forget Juanita Broaddick as well.
