Members DramatistDreamer Posted January 28, 2020 Members Share Posted January 28, 2020 According to this article that I'm reading, once the pilot left the control zone of Burbank, he would have been totally on his own, left to his own judgement to navigate since he didn't have clearance to 'use his instruments' outside of the control zone. Once you leave that F.A.A. authorized zone, you're totally on your own if you continue on-- this is according to an anonymous F.A.A. official. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/flying-into-patchy-fog-kobe-bryants-pilot-had-a-decision-to-make/ar-BBZo2T3 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Money Posted January 29, 2020 Members Share Posted January 29, 2020 I think some in the media shared your concern because they're now including the allegations stating he wasn't perfect. It's interesting because some are going in detail while others are simply calling it the "Colorado incident". When a celebrity dies the media always anoint them to sainthood. A petition to change the NBA logo in his image, retiring his number so no other player can wear the numbers #8 or #24 is a bit much. If the allegations were true she may be the only person who's happy he's dead. Women take the money because in most part, while they want to see justice served, they know their entire life will be ruined. I wont judge her for taking the money. This was before the Me Too movement and given his global status she was fighting a losing battle anyway. Regardless I'm already tired of the media coverage surrounding this. It's non stop and I need a break. If the news are correct and other planes and helicopters were grounded due to the weather, his pilot was the only one given permission to fly. Kobe's arrogance and entitlement is ultimately what killed him and everyone else. RIP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted February 9, 2020 Members Share Posted February 9, 2020 A pretty detailed account of the events leading up to the crash. Of note, friends of the pilot say that he would never be swayed by a celebrity client to fly if he didn't feel capable of flying the helicopter. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/helicopter-went-down-flames-seen-kobe-bryants-last-flight/ar-BBZMHgL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
