OK, I’m not familiar with flying helicopters etc but if they saw the fog getting worse and worse, why not just set it down somewhere and call an Uber? Might have been embarrassing and a little pricey for them but a lot safer. Or is that over-simplifying things?

Yeah that’s what I dont understand. Why Kobe just didnt tell the pilot “Listen, I dont want to take any chances, just land this helicopter right now, I will call Uber this isn’t worth the risk”

They were in hilly country and lots of housing. A helo need some level space to land. Preferably not on a freeway or someone’s driveway.
