Just heard on the radio that the chopper did not have a "TAWS"
"terrain analysis WARNING system" or some such thing.
I guess if you have that you get warned there is a mountain in your flight path.
It was the combo platter of shit going wrong

The million dollar question is, was the pilot pressured by the passengers to go up? Or was he just overly confident and thought he could make it thru the bad conditions?
I tend to think there was some kind of pressure on him. He was flying way faster than necessary. Clearly trying to make it by a certain time.

He never explains why the pilot was going 180mph all the while he couldn't tell the difference between up or down.

The black box that was recovered may bring some missing info into the light if data is able to be recovered. I bet those investigators already have a pretty good idea of what transpired or several scenarios that need proven just wait for it they always get to the bottom of it.

The photographer, who has asked to remain anonymous, captured the photos from Las Virgenes Road In Calabasas at 9.49am Sunday.

He was on a mountain bike ride with a friend when the two spotted the Sikorsky S-76B.

The source said: "It was foggy and we heard a low flying helicopter. "Out of the fog came a helicopter and it slammed into the mountainside about 200 feet from where we were standing.

"We were close enough that we could feel the air from the propellers. There was a huge fireball.

"One of the helicopter doors landed about 10 to 15 feet away from us. "Helicopter parts were flying everywhere. There was very little left of the helicopter."

The man admitted that he and his friend were concerned about their own safety, but they still rushed to the crash site in the hope that they may be able to help.

"We rushed down to see if we could help but there were obviously no survivors," he said.

"My friend called 911 and we stayed there until the fire helicopter came and lowered down a fireman.

"We gave our information to the sheriff's department.

"We didn't realise that Kobe Bryant was in the helicopter until we got back down to the parking lot.

"Just the fact that a whole helicopter full of people crashed was shocking to us."

Agree 100%, this is the point I've been making from the beginning. It just doesn't add up.

And wtf is Kobe doing in a helicopter with no terrain avoidance warning system? In the fog. In mountains. Pilot didn't seem to be under any stress and was able to see while talking to the different towers. I'm certainly no aviation expert, but this whole thing just makes zero sense.

His call in with Dan Patrick on Monday was a crusher, he was an old man ground into dust... but still managed to struggle through with dignity, he represented the Lakers SO well

Seems to me he could have parked it in the field somewhere until the weather improved.
Yeah I’m no expert, but with planes as you lose altitude you pick up airspeed. I’d presume it’s the same way with helicopters. It’s really easy in a plane to get disoriented as **** and not know which the **** way is up. I’d presume that part would be worse in a helicopter because you’re controlling all 3 axis.

Like I said before that’s what happened to the dude from my town. He got ****ed up in the fog and came through the fog headed straight down.

Pure speculation but I can see it happening.

Nah. It's actually easy to tell when you're upside down. the piss runs up your neck instead of down your leg.
