It’s somewhat telling that LA County sheriffs grounded all of their helicopters around that time. Without knowing all the facts, I’m just going on 2020 hindsight, I’d say they probably never should’ve taken off.
I’m also fixed wing guy, not a Helo guy, and so unfamiliar with procedures, but I would’ve climbed above the cloud deck, and requested an IFR flight plan or vectors to the nearest vfr fbo. Then told the passengers that they needed to make other arrangements to get to the game.
