Man. I'm on page 60 of 133 (133 as of right now). Not sure why i'm doing this to myself and reading this. I guess the stories. Podcasts. Memories.
Still hard to believe

Pilot error in foggy conditions. They need to get rid of SVFR clearance for any civilian travel. If it’s not good enough for the LAPD to fly in, no one should.
Crashes are thoroughly investigated by the NTSB for purposes of using that information to try and prevent another crash.
When I was watching the head lady of the NTSB press conference yesterday, she said they wrote a recommendation, in 2004 after a crash with the same chopper in Galveston Texas which killed 10 people, urging the FAA to adopt NOZ (pardon the spelling) software on any aircraft that carries over 6 people. NOZ software digitally replicates terrain layout in the event the pilot can't see.
After another crash in, I believe, 2010, the NTSB recommended it again to the FAA, again the FAA ignored it. In 2015, the NTSB finally threw in the towel and closed their recommendation.
Yes, the media can be salacious with wanting to the know the details. But for purposes of investigators its extremely important to try to piece together as much facts as possible to prevent these situations from happening again. And it works because, say what you want, commercial flying (with all its flaws) its the safest it has ever been since the advent of flying.
Now the FAA needs to adopt some stricter regulations for private flying. Hopefully, a positive can come out of Kobe's, and the 8 other victims, death.
A helicopter expert made a YouTube video that’s posted in this thread somewhere saying that the model kobe was in had autopilot but you have to be going a certain speed for it to work
Same shyt I said fam.. LA county emergency services had grounded their helicopters due to insufficient flying conditions... that could have been a memo to all airmen in the area to ground their fleet until the notice is lifted... Kobe his daughter and everyone on board that helicopter would be alive today
FAA need to issue a notice effective immediately for private operators of helicopters to follow their local government agencies who operate helicopter fleets their notices on weather related conditions
Even commercial jet engine pilots experience this that’s why it is mandatory for them to fly IFR at night and during heavy weather conditions like snow, fog etc... They always hit the autopilot and like the plane follow its navigation route with no issues.
dude is a bozo for that shyt. Chopper had tons of fuel so it’s not like they were in danger of running out and he wasn’t flying some organs to an emergency heart surgery so why risk it. Don’t give a fukk who is on board. Put the damn thing down somewhere safe even if it has to be a supermarket parking lot.
Regardless, the rules remains the same: protect the boss at all costs. Even if the boss is a danger to themself, you step in and deal with it. Look at how many celebs recently have died putting themselves in danger and their squad didn’t do shyt to make sure the bag stays intact.
- Juice: swallowing pills instead of letting the designated weed carrier take the charge
- Mac: ordering pills and p*ssy like Popeyes chicken sandwiches and ODing
- Whitney: did coke and pills and died in a tub
- MJ: OD’d off some damn IV drugs hooked up at the crib (WTF)
- Aaliyah: whole squad loading up a plane with too much shyt and the pilot doesn’t push back enough to tell them it’s a bad look and they all go down
- Jose Fernandez: getting shyt faced and smashes his boat up at night and bodied himself and two of his boys
That’s just a few off the top of the head but the point is that if you’re in these inner circles, you gotta know that if some shyt happens to the boss, y’all all fukked. And sometimes the boss just ain’t making the right calls.
Would you rather be the one letting some shyt slide and disaster happens or speaking up and risk getting alienated from the circle? Because either way, your bag is compromised.
Look at that Kevin Hart shyt that just came on Netflix. Dude at least knows when to say when but he even said some slick shyt to one of the dudes on his team and they were ready to square up. Obviously Kevin woulda gotten folded but dude on the squad didn’t give a shyt who he was. They patched things up but that showed you how important is is to have the right people on the team.
now we done lost a GOAT over some bullshyt. Just crazy.

An entire bloodline was wiped out and a mother left behind two kids and I heard they're having a hard time identifying them. Man this shyt is absolutely terrible.

I'm learning more about the limitations of helicopters. You would think a helicopter can stop and hover in place anytime they are in a jam. High hover can be done but it requires a lot power and advanced pilot skill especially when using only instruments. Looking at the flight pattern, they got disoriented in the fog but had to keep forward momentum so the pilot kept hitting turns hoping to get clear of the clouds. Ended up getting sandwiched between the low ceiling and rising terrain of the canyons. The pilot had to make a choice and it ended up being the wrong choice. Of course we won't know for sure until the NSTB completes its investigation.
