If Kobe is the pilot of his helicopter, it makes sense. Or it could just be 2 or 3 of his daughters were on board. Who knows.
S-76 is complex helicopter, I would think there were 2 pilots. But there can be just one.
Yessir. Either way, I wouldn't get inside one of those things. Even before today, no thanks.
When those tourists drowned in the east river a couple of years ago I told my wife it would have to be an extreme circumstance to get me into a helicopter
...anything about who else was on board. Sports director has known him forever and said a helicopter was his standard form of transport from Newport Beach into LA so not a leisure thing.

Right, they said traveling via plane was just hard on his body.....so the hellicopter was a quick way to get around.
12:35 PM PT -- Kobe's daughter Gianna Maria -- aka GiGi -- was also on board the helicopter and died in the crash ... reps for Kobe tell TMZ Sports. She was 13.
We're told they were on their way to the Mamba Academy for a basketball practice when the crash occurred. The Academy is in nearby Thousand Oaks

Only did once..was at an Air Show and they had $75 rides in a Huey flown by Nam Vets..about 15 minute ride. Gave us a couple of hard turns and a drop...had the doors open and my daughter and I had the seats right next to the door...interesting feeling.

Actually in the event of complete engine failure your chances surviving in a helicopter are better than an airplane. That rotor blade will still spins and provides some lift.

Just awful. Even after Lebron passed him on scoring list the other day. Kobe is the second greatest basketball player I’ve ever seen play. Prayers to his wife and if any of the kids survived.
Have we ever seen someone who was one of the best players ever in their sport and super popular die in a tragic accident at such a young age? I’m trying to think of something similar but I just can’t.

Junior Seau. Maybe some WWF wrestlers. I don't think there's a real equivalent to this though.
with their twitter accounts need to be taken out back...
Not a Kobe fan but Jesus Christ there are some miserable people out there already trying to make a buck off his death. And now adding his daughter on top of it?
“ Sources: Kobe Bryant was on his way to a travel basketball game with his daughter Gianna when the helicopter crashed. Those aboard the helicopter also included another player and parent.”
Met him and his older daughter last year at his daughter’s volleyball tournament in Vegas. He said he was very down to earth signed lots of autographs.
kobe=pilot

how would Kobe + pilot + 4 daughters make sense?
Unless he was the pilot.
Then we'd be in JFK Jr territory...
They said it on an ABC special report around 3:05 during the pro bowl.

Sources have confirmed that neither #Bryant’s wife or children were on board of the helicopter that crashed.

Hold your love ones tight tonight.
This really is surreal. I don't know what to even say. I was thinking of him yesterday when LBJ passed him for 3rd overall in scoring.

A very sad day for all of sports, and just an awful tragedy and horrible for his family.
