GASabresIUFAN Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 I’m watching IU vs Maryland on CBS and they haven’t said a work about Kobe. I’m really surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 No mention of Kobe on CNN coverage. They must not feel comfortable with the sourcing of the confirmation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Fox had a brief discussion of/ tribute to Bryant during the MSU Minnesota game. Pretty sure the color analyst had been a teammate of his. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyldnwoody44 Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Crazy, you'd think having a private helicopter would be safer than driving in California. I am very curious to see what may have caused the crash. Either way, very sad news, probably no words can do justice to console those affected ?

I have no details but fog plus mountains is pretty dangerous. I wonder if he tried to elevate above the fog to gain better visibility of the mountains. Going too high can cause a helicopter to stall out. I think a Blackhawk is what he was flying which has a ceiling near 15,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 I'm not sure how Vanessa and the 3 kids move forward from this. I feel so awful that the newborn will never know her father, a man who by all accounts had turned his life around and was a great dad. Just awful and so unnecessary. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
