As usual, your brain damaged self misreads another's emotions. Good thing computers never let you down, eh?

So sad!

Just heard LA PD grounded there helicopters due to it being too foggy to fly.

Thoughts and prayers to family and friends

%Just saw a cartoon aired in 2017 aired on Comedy Central that explicitly showed Kobe Bryant crashing in a helicopter and dying. Of course, I should have link but not at the moment. Doesn’t prove anything but kinda weird. Like maybe avoid choppers if a cartoon shows you dying in a crash.

Also, Felicia Sonmez do the Wash Post was suspended for focusing on Kobe as a r*pe suspect as his memoriam. As some members have done on here, trash Kobe. But they hold their heads high and get away with it!

nearly wen t off the road when i got the text at 2:36 pm yesterday. stopped at a cumberland farms. store full of people in disbelief. one black dude kept saying "can anyone tell me this isnt true?" over and over. i showed him the tmz headline.

now we find the LA cops grounded their choppers that day due to fog, yet apparently kobe insisted they fly.

Audio reviewed by ESPN indicates that a few minutes prior to the crash, an air traffic controller told the pilot that he was "still too low level for flight following," meaning the aircraft was below the level at which it could be picked up by radar due to the area's hilly terrain. That audio came from recordings posted on LiveATC.net, which has partial audio of the communication between the pilot and air traffic controllers.

Additional recordings between the pilot and air traffic controllers posted on the site indicate that the pilot was getting guidance from controllers as he navigated what was reported to be dense morning fog.

Air traffic controllers noted poor visibility around Burbank, just to the north, and Van Nuys, to the northwest. After holding up the helicopter for other aircraft, the controllers cleared the Sikorsky S-76 to proceed north along Interstate 5 through Burbank before turning west to follow U.S. Route 101, the Ventura Highway.

I hope (and I would think this was true) that her passing meant 1000x more to you than Kobe Bryant's or anyone else's.

I can think of nothing worse than losing a child. Literally, nothing would be worse to me.

Totally agree.

It definitely changes your perspective on it when you become a parent yourself. It takes you to your own kid and what you would feel

Lot of raw emotion on TV right now.

Read this pilot had some special privilege to fly in foggy weather. He dropped the ball yesterday and it caused him his life and 8 others. Seems like he didn't listen to air traffic control either

just haters and cowards, like I keep saying. the internet's an easy place to get away with being a complete jackass to someone they don't like...

it isn't like any of us were there to know exactly what went on...

Looks like you beat me Rock!

81 combined points. Both took 24 shots. Both 8 rebounds while wearing 8 and 1

Flashbacks to SRV dying in a helicopter crash in the fog after a concert with Clapton decades ago. Makes about as much sense now as it did then.

My heart goes out to friends and families of the deceased. Unnecessary tragedy, unfortunately.

For Laker fans, very tough day as we see legends of the franchise breaking down as they learn the news. I wish they would let these people grieve before shoving a camera and microphone in their face, especially in this social media era. If people want to make a statement, they can release it themselves.

Oh, and a big F you to TMZ for releasing names before the families could be notified.

Don't know much about helicopters but ESPN is reporting that the aircraft was elevating and then descended quickly and crashed.

Could be anything, mechanical failure, navigation, pilot error
