The World Just Received a Heartbreaking Update on Kobe Bryant’s Death

Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, and seven others died a year ago. The world has hard time accepting his death. The helicopter crash took the lives of nine people, and there was a year-long investigation into Kobe Bryant’s tragic death. The group was flying to attend a basketball tournament.

Federal officials have offered another update on the crash. The S-76 helicopter crashed before 10 a.m. ET near Calabasas, Calif. That’s about 30 miles northwest of LA. Ara Zobayan piloted the plane. He was under no influence when the crash happened.

The National TransportationSafety Board knows the truth behind the crash. What really happened that day?

Kobe Bryant’s death is no longer a mistery

Reuters revealed the words of NTSB Chairman Robert Sumwalt. According to Sumwalt, Zobayan was “legally prohibited” from flying into clouds. However, he flied that day. NTSB explained that Zobayan was “disoriented” right before the crash.

Did Zobayan face pressure to finish the job?

“What were the expectations of the pilot under the company policy? Did he put pressure on himself and what actions could he have taken to avoid flying into the clouds?”

Sumwalt explained that the investigation has shown zero evidence on any “catastrophic mechanical failure.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — U.S. safety investigators said Tuesday that the pilot of Kobe Bryant’s helicopter flew through clouds last year in an apparent violation of federal standards and likely became disoriented just before the helicopter crashed, killing Bryant and eight others.

Kobe is gone and these reports won’t bring him back. This investigation will only give closure to victims’ families.

Kobe and Gigi will never ever attend Lakers games at Staples Center. Vanessa keeps everyone updated, sharing photos of her daughters and remembering her loved ones. She lost a husband and a daughter that day and she will have to live with this emptiness for the rest of her life.

“I miss my baby girl and Kob-Kob so much, too. I will never understand why/how this tragedy could’ve happened to such beautiful, kind and amazing human beings. It still doesn’t seem real.” 

Vanessa hasn’t made any comments on the recent update. She asked everyone to stop posting photos of the crash. The Los Angeles Lakers didn’t pay tribute to the legend on the one-year anniversary. They didn’t want to make things worse for the Bryant family. They are already in terrible pain.
