The children were all the future Kobe was working to make better lives for.
As to the accident, the pilot was instrumented rated, and Kobe certainly can’t be blamed. Ran into a similar situation in ‘Nam and as crew chief, told the pilot and co that the situation called for rudder pedal. the nice thing about rotary wing is that you can turn 180 on the spot. Sad event all around.
Living in Los Angeles: It is disgusting how fans and the media are lauding Bryant’s legacy. Amazing all the effusion of admiration for an athlete…while returning military men and women do and sacrifice for our country receive little to no praise or acknowledgement.All this for a man known to be a rapist and womanizer. Such a model of what in the Age of Trump.
@ideations Was he found guilty in a court of law? Innocent until proven guilty has long been the standard here in America. But, if it makes you feel superior to speak ill of the dead, congratulations, you are very superior today.

I’m not into sports but it’s sad anyone has to die this way especially the kids.
