Didn't know the name :smirk: but read his second-oldest daughter, Gianna “Gigi” Bryant, was also killed in the accident :tear:

It's a shame those kids died.... :(

I'm reminded of when Aaliyah died in a plane crash a few decades ago, even the same number of people were on board. Apparently it was overloaded and shouldn't have ever taken off. Didn't Kobe's chopper get special clearance to fly in the fog or something? :ninja:

Yes, I heard on the TV news that they apparently had permission to fly in the adverse conditions. I guess they will blame the pilot (as usual) for the tragedy :tear: Also, I didn't know there were 11 onboard including the pilot. That seems a lot in the circumstance.

Now I have been a passenger in a number of helicopters over the years and there has never been more than 5 with the exception of a couple of trips in the Army Iroquois (Huey) helicopters where we had maybe 10 on board if memory serves me :smirk: correctly.
Question:If you have taken a flight in a helicopter, how many were onboard all up? Just interested.

Not really. It wasn’t just Kobe that died. 8 others were killed, including children. Ari made light of those deaths with his cheap shot at Kobe.

As for the alleged rape, yeah, the evidence didn’t look good for Kobe. But the case was dropped and he wasn’t convicted. So it’s tough to say he was guilty.

This isn’t the first shitty thing Ari has said or done. He’s a funny bastard, but seems to be a vile person...

I don't know that I'd go so far as to say he's "vile", but even giving him the benefit of the doubt, his comment was pretty shitty. Even if he didn't know there were kids on board, the chopper doesn't fly itself, so Kobe was obviously not going to be the only casualty.

I hesitated to bring up the rape allegation against Kobe, even though it was the first thing I thought of when I heard he died. To my knowledge, it's the only allegation against him, and I can't in good conscience condemn someone for one unconfirmed accusation. It's when there's a pattern of behavior that I write somebody off. But I don't follow sports, so I don't know what the fully story is with him. He seemd to be doing the right thing with him money lately, supporting communities in need. Hopefully it wasn't blood money. I dunno. :shrug:

Guy played basketball for a living and people talk about him like he was greater than Nelson Mandela and Malcolm X put together.

Pretty sure Kobe apologized for the rape incident. Not something innocent people do. I would still say that doesn't warrant death as a repercussion but I do think Ari was just doing his shtick and trying to be funny. I don't think what he said about Kobe reflects on the other people onboard either. They were all tragic deaths at the end of the day. Some more than others...

Yeah because he got caught, but lucky for him he was filthy rich with his own personal team of lawyers and PR agents

"Good news Mr. Bryant, our early focus group results are showing 78% favourable opinions nationally if you apologize publicly and put lots of balls in hoops, so to speak. Bonus points if you win a championship of the basketballs within the next few years."

I had no idea who he was and it's just weird seeing people treat him like some kind of saintly world-changer. Flavour of the week I guess.

In this modern world, everyone follows sports, watches sports. I am also fond of watching Cricket, Basketball, and Football and that is why I read online news on a daily basis.
