Quick thanks to whatever mod was managing the subject line of this thread. I originally posted it as "Kobe Bryant rumors" because I didn't want to jump the gun and only a tabloid (TMZ) was reporting the story. But some goodhearted mod managed it to reflect the facts as they changed throughout the day to avoid misleading anyone or presenting info that was out of date. Fine work.

Kobe Bryant and wife Vanessa had pact to ‘never fly on a helicopter together’
...the Los Angeles Lakers legend would “only” fly in choppers flown by pilot Ara Zobayan, who was at the controls in the crash Sunday that left him, Bryant and seven others dead Sunday. https://nypost.com/2020/01/28/kobe-b...rce=reddit.com |

Sounding more and more like a preventable tragedy.
I wonder how much pressure the pilot was under to get these people in the air? Why didn’t he just say no?

As usual, you have absolutely nothing to offer to the topic at hand. Buh-bye...

I will never understand other than pilot error why he was flying so fast. I work by a hospital and see the life flights come and go almost every day even in shitty weather and if the weather is not great they are moving at a snails pace. Seems to me he could have parked it in the field somewhere until the weather improved.

Doing 160-180 when they hit the hillside? Maybe the throttle got stuck or something, who knows... but we surely don’t have the whole story yet |

The million dollar question is, was the pilot pressured by the passengers to go up? Or was he just overly confident and thought he could make it thru the bad conditions?

I tend to think there was some kind of pressure on him. He was flying way faster than necessary. Clearly trying to make it by a certain time.
