This has been mentioned a couple times.

Listened to the sports news on the way home. Actually they mentioned the other deaths more than once and it was mentioned the identities of a two or three were at the time unknown. In addition, some professional athlete commented that we shouldn't forget that others and their family also suffered a tragedy.

You or I could die tomorrow in an accident and obviously it would be little more than a quick news story, soon forgotten by all but our close acquaintances. The difference being Kobe Bryant played his craft on the world stage and his name was literally known around the world.

God be with him and his family....make that all of them and their families....

Not speculating it was CFIT (I wasn't flying, I'm not part of the investigation), just leaving this here.

VFR in IMC conditions usually ends badly.

The MSL altitude below ground level, is always unusable.

He was entitled to his opinion. I have kids that say worse of Trump. Right now i have on my "keep America Great " hat. I'm a Viral Trump supporter from Hell. But I don't hate my kids for their opinion. The man's dead, He's no longer a threat to anyone. Give him that much respect


Is it your contention that he was entitled to his opinion but I'm not entitled to post his own words?

What does "I don't hate my kids for their opinion" have to do with this post?

These were rhetorical questions.I certainly don't expect a logical answer from someone who wrote such a nonsensical post.

From the pictures on the tube, the tail rotor mast was separated from the main crash by about 200 yards. The video of the crash does not really show a lot until after it appears that the tail rotor has separated. At that point, wasn't much anyone could do.

Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

Kids dying sucks.
Adults...........eh, don't really care.
Celebrity doesn't change my view.

Hard hearted is all.

Just hope the crash made none suffer.

Remember, Tom is known for diddling around and spending more than he made. Yet is revered for being a Founding Father and writing the Declaration. His life is even honored by being on a $2..

Sometime the good outweighs the bad. Odd how it works for some and not others.

All I know is, 2 of our guys just got killed in Afghanistan, 3 of our volunteers to Australia got killed trying to put out those fires, countless cops have been shot, attacked, dumped on or killed in the line of duty, all in the last couple weeks, and not a word of remorse or consoling of the families left behind from the mainstream media.

But, let some liberal snowflake sjw professional sport hero die and we'll hear about it for months.


Slaves get what they need. Free men get what they want.

Rehabilitation is way overrated.

It is odd how that works out. But without Thomas Jefferson this country wouldn't have any land west of the Mississippi.

Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase changed the United States and world in incalculable ways.

Yes, in our case the good outweighs the bad....The Indians should have built a wall....

It’s not a competition for who gets the most words of remorse. Real simple.
