Yeah this situation is f'ed. But Kobe is not a pilot; he paid good $$ to those who are to make those decisions. Sad all around.Really sad for his poor daughter and her mom. Everyone’s all torn up over Kobe because he was a great basketball player, but it’s pretty crazy that he took his 13 year old daughter on a helicopter in horrible weather conditions. Who the fck flies a helicopter in conditions like that?
Don’t only hug them. Teach them not to do incredibly stupid **** and put their family in harm’s way.Hug everyone you love and especially those you haven’t touched in a while. This one stings!
Bro, I don’t have to be a pilot to know I ain’t putting my little daughter in a tin box in insane fog like that.Yeah this situation is f'ed. But Kobe is not a pilot; he paid good $$ to those who are to make those decisions. Sad all around.
Lapse in judgement, ignorance, false sense of immortality... whatever it was, obviously he didn’t quite understand the danger. I’m sure he would die a thousand deaths to spare her.. as would any good Dad.Bro, I don’t have to be a pilot to know I ain’t putting my little daughter in a tin box in insane fog like that.
Fair enough. I know nothing about this crash, possibly its was 100% pilot related or 100% weather related. Seems crazy to me in 2020 a plane/helicopter can just fly into a hill.Bro, I don’t have to be a pilot to know I ain’t putting my little daughter in a tin box in insane fog like that.
I wouldn’t take chances like that with my kid ever. The risk isn’t worth it for a kids’ basketball practice. Helicopters are dangerous on a nice day. It’s one thing if you’re gravely injured and you need a helicopter to get to the hospital; it’s another to jump in one just for the **** of it on a super foggy day.Fair enough.

But my point, after 25 years of trusting professionals to handle you sh*t, a foggy helicopter ride is probably normal.
He's been traveling in a Helicopter for nearly 20 years now, it's out of the ordinary from him to travel that way. Tom Brady does too.Really sad for his poor daughter and her mom.

She's been flying with Kobe since she was a little girl... It wasn't unusual for them to take their Heli around to from places.Don’t only hug them. Teach them not to do incredibly stupid **** and put their family in harm’s way.

Super sad **** for that **** poor kid. I can’t imagine how bad her mom feels or even the guilt she feels for letting her get in that tin box. That **** will destroy her forever.
Are helicopters dangerous? A comparison with planes, trains and cars - The Points Guy
The answer, based on a TPG analysis of a decade of safety data: Like almost every other mode of transportation, flying in a helicopter is considerably more dangerous than airline travel. But it’s far safer than riding in a car.thepointsguy.com
