NTSB: Pilot’s ‘Spatial Disorientation’ Played Role In Bryant Helicopter Crash | NBC Nightly News
NTSB said Kobe didn’t pressure the pilot- how? Who was there when Kobe pulled him aside? Nobody! Kobe did pressure the pilot and his fame and EGO killed him and all those other insignificant people (nobody mentions their names- because who is famous? Whose fame got him killed?)
pilot tiny otolith gyroscope vs big chopper gyroscope out of sync is the culprit
We knew this already
Can't understand facts? It doesn't matter how amazing someone is. Human error and accidents can happen to anyone
You get you pay for
Non-IFR rated pilot flying into IMC? That will be disastrous.
Blame the person that cant defend themselves
The g force they were feeling made them feel as if they were sitting straight upright but in reality they were diving into the ground. This tells me that the pilot wasnt watching his feedback systems like he should be
Kobe and his wife actually made an agreement to not go on their helicopter at the same time just in case something like this happened. It’s still crazy that he’s gone.
No matter how you look at it, it was a very sad day for all of the families who lost loved ones that day. RIP
Can’t question God’s will
