Soon it’ll include Shaq, Phil Jackson, Kareem and Kato Kaelin.

Twitter sucks sometimes

ABC news reporting OJ Simpson onboard

Just heard that all NBA games cancelled today.

There’s a silver lining in everything.

In terms of a global celebrity/icon dying so suddenly this is up there with Michael Jackson and Princess Diana.

Was Florio onboard?

Frankie just got a call - they need his expertise to lead the investigation into what caused this

Not true..

Wow crazy. So many celebrities die in aircraft crashes. Stevie Ray Vaughan, Buddy Holly, Payne Stewart...

RIP

NBA.com not even reporting Kobes death yet....

This is an incredible reminder of how fleeting life is.

Last night he was tweeting at LeBron, likely not a care in the world. A few hours later, he’s gone.

We could all go at any minute. Cherish the time we have. It could all end in an instant, when we least expect it.

This is really sobering.

Involved the ground not mid-air

Dale Earnhardt Jr has to be counting his blessings today.

My firm had a plane for a couple of years. About a half-dozen of us were getting pilots licenses, etc...

I was a solo trip and a few solo landings from qualifying when a friend of a partner crashed his plane and barely survived. After some discussion we all came to the same conclusion - it isn't really 'if', it's 'when' and how badly. We sold it and all parties walked away.

In a lot of ways I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often. You wanna know why flying cars aren't a thing that's likely to happen in several lifetimes? There's your answer.

Flying is a constant fight against physics and it takes so very little for tragedy to strike. If you're lucky you walk away but more often than not you don't.

That Stewart situation was weird AF, just a plane full of dead people on auto-pilot cruising until it ran outta fuel... thank God it didn’t crash into some neighborhood
