A seriously bad part about this too(obviously not the worst) for Kobe’s family is he owned the Helicopter. I would not be surprised if the remaining family members of the others in the crash don’t take his estate to court. 

He owned but the helicopter was managed by a Island Express helicopter company so they are the ones liable. 

 

They are the ones they train the crews and handle the maintenance on the aircraft.

My favorite player of all time.

Ah. That’s good news all around. I didn’t realize it was subbed out.

Here’s the audio via LiveATC/VASAviation. I haven't had chance to listen to it yet though. 

Well that asks more questions then answered. Everything seemed normal then lost comms.

Hopefully people won't make this into a who's better argument. Simply a tribute to the man.

Reading what Greg Olsen wrote (posted earlier in the thread) kinda makes me question if this news hasn't caused him to ponder his own future a little bit.

He had said that he wanted to keep playing, but stories like this make you think of your own mortality. I wonder if he'll be more likely to consider retiring now so he can spend more time with his family.

I had the same thought when I read his tweet.

I don’t think he owned it. Charter that was basically reserved for him but owned by a company.

He owned it but I guess he subbed it out to a company for operation and everything else.

Here it is again for reference...

Wouldn't be at all surprised if he decided it was time to hang it up.

Interesting fact. This is the same model(albeit, a earlier model) that flies the Queen.

This had to be the most shocking death of this time... I mean only micheal jackson who was a little older and aaliyah come close in my mind. Man this really hit home.... RIP

I wasn't alive when it happened, but I think for all who were nothing will probably ever top JFK.
