Pilot could have requested an implement flight path or just not gone but lets blame it on not having one more government mandated nanny that may or may not have made a difference.

Yea that part was odd, but found it nuts if that 20-30' from clearing the mountain is accurate.

Don't forget about her blood on his shirt and the fact she was about to testify and all the sudden she was changed her mind because he paid her off. He was a hell of a ball player but he did that shit.

RIP to everyone on that bird and condolences to their families. Very sad story. They never should have been in the air that day. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the families go for a money grab civil suit. Not that it should be warranted but that's the world today.
Or the fact she showed up 24 hrs later at a hospital to take a rape test and had another dude’s semen in her underwear as well. Which means she ****ed some other dude after supposedly being raped. Her excuse was she grabbed a dirty pair of underwear off the floor.

She was also taking anti-psychotic drugs at the time and attempted suicide on multiple occasions prior to whatever occurred with Kobe. My bet is she planned on ****ing him but didn’t like the way it went as he liked it rough according to the court transcripts. You don’t end up in a rich, attractive celebrity’s hotel room after midnight for an autograph.

If you don't have anything good to say why post in the thread? Why click on it?

RIP Kobe, homie gave me so many memories. MJ of my era.

I agree with you 1000%. Problem is there are too many dumb@$$es in the world who can't resist being negative or stupid. Take your pick...….

These are the kinds of things he should be remembered for:

at their high rate of descent in a loaded chopper full of passengers and fuel...I suspect their fate was sealed, even if he'd yanked the collective all the way up.

Natural tendency is to slow down when coming up on weather like that. My guess is that most of the climb was due to slowing down, and then the lower airspeed caused the aircraft to fall at too low of a power setting. Once in the turn, potential spatial disorientation and/or fixation and didn’t realize he was in a descent. An S76 isn’t a powerhouse, but I guarantee it had enough power to stop the descent, even with the passenger load. However, the pilot didn’t apply it, and my guess is he never knew there was an issue.

Edit: Qualifications -
2500+ hours military helicopter
Commercial instrument helicopter
Instrument fixed wing
Military instructor pilot/instrument examiner

@03Sssnake Honestly didn't even sound like he powered up or down. That he was flying fairly slow and then just went right into the mountain
Estimated at 2000 feet per minute so only like 22mph upon impact. Seems like a lot of damage for such a slow speed. Not to mention less than half the bodies were recovered the first day and that debris field is pretty big.

I’ll steer clear of helicopters thanks.

They initially said 4000ft per minute....so it’s now 2000?
It’s all over the place. I’ve seen 185mph, 4000ft/m and now 2000. Judging by videos of it pre crash and now audio, it was definitely not moving very fast. Just seems like a lot of damage and carnage for such a “small” impact.

I'm so confused.. From the original video looks like the helicopter was spinning out of control and then crashed into the ground...

She was a whore but that doesn't mean he didn't rape her. The glove didn't fit OJ but that doesn't mean he didn't kill her.

Yup, and Donald Trump is a Russian Spy. CNN may not have proved it, but they also didn't Disprove it!!

Just because they were descending at 2000 fpm doesn’t mean they didn’t have forward airspeed. If the aircraft didn’t have the gear down, there is no absorption either.

The issue with that report is that they said they're relying HEAVILY on first person accounts and witnesses. That's not good news for actually finding the truth out as the witnesses that have talked to the news at this point have made some pretty outrageous claims.
