Kobe Bryant Death: A Basketball God Killed by Human Error
Whom the Gods Love Die Young — My tribute to Kobe Bryant
The former LA Lakers star, Kobe Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and six others lost their lives on a helicopter journey between John Wayne and Camarillo airports on January 26, 2020.
According to an investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) of the United States, the helicopter accident that killed Kobe Bryant was caused by several pilot errors.
Last Tuesday’s report explains how Ara Zobayan, the pilot, ignored the intense fog and decided to go forward with the trip against safety rules’ indications.
Robert Sumwal from NTSB announced that “The pilot made several mistakes, but there is no evidence that he deliberately tried to kill himself and the passengers.”
The Sikorsky S-76B helicopter was flying at about 184 mph (296 kph) and descending at a rate of more than 4,000 feet (1,219 meters) per minute when it slammed into the hillside and ignited, scattering debris over an area the size of a football field. The victims died immediately. Source ABC News.
