Kobe and Gigi Bryant Memorial Thread (RIP)

He was too confident in his abilities and was familiar with the terrain. Instead of thinking about his passengers, he cheated and cost everyone their life. He wasn't a novice. He had over 5000 hours logged and was an instructor. He knew better.

I know everyone is hurt and it’s not abnormal to wanna place blame after an unfortunate event, but what’s the point? He made a human error, it’s not gonna bring Kobe back, I’m sure the pilot has a family as well and they are absolutely destroyed emotionally right now.

We need to appreciate Ernie while he's here family. Everyone on TNT is a grown man but he always plays the father role. Gets much love from me

He's also a republican, so he aint perfect.

Is it true they talkin bout having the funeral at the coliseum?

Better be in Staples, would make sense no other place else. The public version not the family version

Could've landed in Burbank or Van Nuys and taken a ride to the compound.

They were circling because they were waiting for clearance to land at one of them. Both of them were busy at the time.

I'm pretty sure the 180 mph was the speed to the ground bro, it hit the ground at that sperm, not flew at it.

the average speed of a helicopter in flight is roughly 160 mph...so it’s not unfathomable that they could’ve been flying @ speeds of 180+ mph...although to do so under those flying conditions was clearly a grave mistake

I'm pretty sure the 180 mph was the speed to the ground bro, it hit the ground at that sperm, not flew at it.

So he had to be going something over 100 before that happened......Still seems pretty fast considering the conditions. In a helicopter you get pretty much a straight shot to your destination, avoiding hazards. Still seems like he didn't have to be going that fast.

Someone told me they don't think Staples is big enough and I agree. This dude can fill up the coli in LA. With real fans to pay their respects. It could be huge for the city.

I think they were circling because they were waiting for air traffic to clear.

im trying to figure out why he was going so fast
was he tryin to show off?

This pilot kind of broke down how helicopters work. I guess you can't really hover around, you gotta keep flying and try to make it out.

Embiid wore 24 today, nice tribute by Philly

 

[Will Ross]

Damnnn Kobe doesnt even have a son to carry on his legacy

Daughters sometimes carry the legacy better. They don’t have the same pressure that boys have to carry on the name.
