Last words heard before Kobe Bryant helicopter crash | USA TODAY 

Probably, I just wish we knew.

The other adults probably did the same thing too.

No they didn’t know they were crashing

Kobe: *hold on to be gigi* Gigi: *are we going to die?*

@Koda TV agree but also they hit a mountain side before hitting the ground Tho the autopsy found carbon dioxide in gigi lungs indicating she was alive a few seconds after the crash- wonder what her last thoughts were. Prob overwhelmed :(

It likely disappeared from the radar before it crashed. "Too low for flight following" refers to the ability to be seen on the ATC's radar screen, not the safety of the helicopter's altitude.

And just makes it even sadder to know what's happening at that time.

The ending souns so eerie.. This should have never happened,, so many unanswered questions.... Rip To The 8 Beautiful People ,💜🌹😔

Thats Me 98 The only one question that needs to be answered fully is why fly in that type of weather. I understand there are other questions after the chopper takes flight.

Dulce Ortega ...Their bodies weren't intact.

@@brucescott4261 that doesn't mean anything no one knows exactly what happend inside of that plane that day

@@elpresadorjr.6620 they tell you when the plane is crashing doofus

@@dulceortega6917 it wasn’t crashing...they were just descending and collided without any warning...like a car wreck outta nowhere

@@dulceortega6917 that doesn’t mean the passengers knew, for all they knew the helicopter was just riding on

He’s definitely done it plenty of times before and trusts his pilot/helicopter. They probably planned to take the heli to skip the traffic and make the game on time but didn’t expect fog being that bad. What I don’t understand was why wasn’t there a EGPWS (Automatically forces the helicopter away from the object it’s about to hit)? It’s just only a 30k investment and you’d think someone of the magnitude of Kobe would certainly have one😰

@@ryan-ih5bq Exactly

ryan sutter I don’t even think that would’ve worked. They were moving at 150 knots or 167mph and the terrain changed quickly at the base of the mountain.

Cole Tipton that’s true, but it wasn’t a steep mountain it was more of a slopped hillside. It certainly would’ve cleared that imo. Either way, the pilot was overconfident and should’ve filed for an IFV and took that the time penalty instead of filing a special VFR and going rogue behind the controls.

ryan sutter I agree. Sounds like he lost his bearings due to discombobulation from the fog. He totally misjudged the terrain...

The helicopter was lacking the crucial part or machinery that would have told them the fog levels were bad. The Cops had the ability to ground their choppers!

@None Applicable yes, smartass. but common sense was not used in the decision to fly in the foggy weather plus as i;ve already said, the chopper lacked the device that would have informed the pilot!

@@yarasaeed5787 exactly people are now saying kobe could've been the one who pressured him to do it. This pilot has 20 plus years experience I'm sure he knew it wasn't a good idea but he thought man this is kobe and he really needs to get there so he took a chance or it could've been just plain old pride like "I've flown so many times and nothing has happened so this one time kobe really needs to go somewhere I'm not going to say no"

@@yarasaeed5787 how can fog be clear? U shouldn't fly in any type of fog

@@breal8484 at the start of the flight theres no fog so that mean that is not the pilots fault

Not me

I'M SURPRISED THAT KOBE DIDN'T JUST USE HIS GIANT BALLOON-HEAD TO FLOAT TO WHERE HE NEEDED TO GO.

Lmao

So true did u know the black Mamba venomous snake capable of causing a human to collapse in 45 minutes? See the connection? Mr. Mamba left 45 minutes earlier and then collapsed or fell from heaven like his Father Satan Snake did in Isaiah and will do in Revelation Book. So now he could not arrive 45 minutes earlier to teach other girls how to be little Mamba snakes of Satan. Now he's in a Hell pit of fire like the rich man waiting for the second death only to be cast into an eternal lake of fire and brimstone. Message to the believers keep yourself from Idols (i.e. Kobe) and Love your brothers and sisters in Christ by laying down your life for them.

Thank you for naming all the victims!!

why are you here then, do you enjoy it?

garin I guess you’re the guy I need to explain in detail. Dense conditions where you can not see the ground or your surroundings.

@@Iarryfisherman It was the fog.

@@Iarryfisherman The aircraft was completely fine. He was flying through dense fog and couldn't see. He was flying at high speed at an extremely low altitude of only 500 ft in fog through an area that is nothing but cliffs mountains and hills. He was trying to depend solely on his radar instrument. Which would not have been a problem had he had a radar instrument that was designed to calculate and detect terrain. He was heading head first into the Calabasas Mountains and he had no idea at first. He couldn't see anything. I think he caught a glimpse of the Calabasas Mountains through the fog and once he realized he was heading straight for them he tried to hurry up and make a quick u turn. Which he did because there was a lady that said this is what she saw over her home. They also put out recordings of calls and a radar recording from the control center that showed the exact path and when he tried to make the sharp u turn. You see him on the radar flying straight and then make a sharp u turn to the left. He dropped off of the radar after that.

Agreed but people do stuff like this all the time I see people run red lights every single day

@@EatPie69 You can fly with instrument rules but they chose visual rules. You think jets fly only if the pilot can see outside? I bet those jumbo jets could go from take off to landing without looking out the window. This is pilot error chose to bypass for whatever reason and a big price was paid.

That's why they get paid 6 figures.

My mom is one in Memphis and she's been trying to get me to join her. She pulls double shifts almost daily and comes back stressed as hell a lot of days. I could never do that job under that kind of stress with the amount of close calls she has had.

Hmmmm..I don't think we appreciate AIR traffic controllers enough.....one guy said he rather feed gators with his hands than to be an air traffic controller

@@semoneg2826 The stress they handle is awful and not on a daily basis but minute by minute.

what was the pilot thinking It could have been fun different ly the way the plane went down

So sad do obviously he couldn’t see and didn’t even realize they were going down 😔😢🕊💔

It likely disappeared from the radar before it crashed. "Too low for flight following" refers to the ability to be seen on the ATC's radar screen, not the safety of the helicopter's altitude.

first time you ever saw a radar screen? try watching a skydiver when his shoot fails! that is some REAL $hit there huh opey?

stop watching it then opey

Seriously dude. I cant. No words.

That's when it crashed

RIP Very Early Death😓

It veered and turned at the last minute before crashing

As if the pilot seen the hill coming and tried to make a steep sharp left turn and banked it right into the hill.

They never fell he got slammed into the side of a hill

TexasForLife! bro what

Hibiscus Syriacus True True

Rest in Heaven to all 9 that were killed in this horrific accident. I just don't understand why the helicopter accelerated so fast towards the mountains? He was an experienced pilot

arturo bustos they didnt fall, they hit the side of a mountain because they were too low and couldnt get over it

@First Last THANKS FOR CORRECTING....MY SPELLING.

MAY “THEIR” souls rest. It wasn’t just him bro

i think you may be incorrect. there are lots of us who don't remember him. until some nitwit brings it up again.

Miranda Gaviria The Pilot should’ve used common sense. The fog was thick.

Doesn’t change the fact that it was 100% preventable!

I am not a pilot but he could have fly higher. Why did he fly so low in the first place?

Angie C it’s not kobe’s fault and he didn’t clear himself to fly

@@Harley08 totally agreed.

in this world that’s how it is kobe was famous so they mainly care bout him

as sad as it is, the world didnt know them nor did they have as much as an impact as kobe did. they should be honored too but you cant possibly expect the same kind of treatment. rest in peace to them all but keep in mind, the world doesnt work that way. if kobe and gigi werent there this wouldnt have ever made headlines either

No. Let's forget about them. It's not like they were famous basketball legends.

@@CooManTunes wtf is wrong with you

@@CooManTunes this nigga🤣🤣

What did it mean

Just make my heart feel like it's mourning.

shameless for you to self-advertise here, but i am with you in tears.

Unknown? Kobe said that.

Babe Ruth said that ~ 💯

Legends never die....and it was said by "Babe Ruth" on The Sandlot

I saw that interview when he spoke that. He had an eerie look in his eyes when he said that.

seems like fools hang around for a really long time as well...........

It's common sense also Roger. Why would someone wants to fly a helicopter in bad weather? This incident wasn't a accident and it's not conspiracy it's the truth!

Roger Olsen That part!

F*** that I blame the pilot for killing the little girls

I understand that but sometimes god give you a recalled and we don't listen my heart is broken 💔😢💔 my prying are for VANESSA and the girls god bless them I know poor Vanessa she's going through 💔 a lot of pain 😢💔😢💔😢 I'm praying for her and Koby's dauthers L. A . LAKERS are going through to a lot of paint MAMBA 😞 FOREVER AND EVER MAMBASITA 😭😢🙏🌹🙏👨🙏👧🙏🧔🙏🌹😭😭🙏🙏🏀🏀🙏🙏

You can blame the reckless person (pilot) who decided to fly a dangerous path knowing the rough estimate of conditions. Your post is idiotic.

Why are you complaining if you "love" it. At the end of the day, people dying are only part of a statistic. You would not care about a certain individual named Fred who died in an African Forest and neither would I do because millions die everyday. Kobe's death is worldwide newsworthy because he is famous and people know him because he was on everybody's TV in their own rooms. People like you have to understand that being famous is a big thing.

@@brownwallet942 I know being famous is a big thing but it doesn't define who you are

@@Simply_LPS That's true and I agree

@@brownwallet942 Yes, and I see the point you were making and I agree too

heard more meaningful farts, sorry

me too!!! im so heartbroken over this

"They"? It was the pilot's call.

@@ourcorrectopinions6824 exactly

@@michaelchamberlain1441 you cant just land like that! there was no where for him to land safetly. first they were gping way way to fast, second he could not see until those final seconds

@Joel Johnson Kobe wouldn’t maybe been upset but they would be alive

wish i could print my fart replies on hear like stupid worthless words!

That's not what mamba mentality means tho..

Kobe mindset would be to run thru a storm even if every car wasn't working just to get some bread...

too bad we can't say the same about you but now i've read your inane stupid comment and it's too late to unread it!

Exactly. Thank you for having common sense. I said the same thing. Millionaire or billionaire tells you to fly , (when your the pilot). Of course you fly them. End of story.

@@juanr7229 sometimes you gotta have the balls to say not any further due to safety concerns

No actually it’s the opposite Kobe didn’t force him to fly, the pilot whose all was kahwi pilot said Kobe trusted him

No moron you dont fly. I dont care who it is.

money maker. Yes so true nobody knows

My heart goes out to the families of ALL who died in the crash. There fixed it for you!

If you saw the reports... If they landed they would've crashed anyway......

Kevon Wang It doesn’t change anything that he was going “too fast”. He shouldn’t of been flying in the fog, and there were a bunch of other factors that led to the crash. Like not having an altitude meter. 160 is the average for a helicopter and without an altitude meter he probably thought they were at a normal altitude. There’s also a thing called spatial orientation where you can’t really tell what direction you’re going.

Jason I agree he didn’t know if he was going straight up or down and that’s why speeeds were at 184 mph cause all that weight going down

Isaiah Mendez yeah pretty much, he can’t really just land in mountains and in fog

@@gabrielarenneeu7252 If saw the other reports he was going too fast.

Sheila Bunag thank you

Yes I understand that but he should be not to take a risked with all those passengers he snows better plus they are Sayed it that it was overloaded 9 people in the helicopter 😢😢😞😞 so he should be said something about it

This was the death of a sports legend and his loving daughter And all you can focus on is “rip the pilot”?!?!?!

@@oompavillesmashlikebruhrif7476 I already did my share of condolences to all those who perished on that helicopter fatal trip. I don't think I owe u any explanation for my condolences to the pilot and his family as well.

@@oompavillesmashlikebruhrif7476 And so what? Everyone's Equal and they are not any more important than the pilot, Maybe to you but not to others So you're saying famous people are all who matter and others shouldn't be cherished? How disappointing

There is no god. Killing Bryant and his daughter along with the other passengers should be proof enough for you.

I agree, if the pilot didn't suffer any medical emergency, it must be the case, he was overly confident, flying way too fast without thinking even a bit that they could die from that until they saw the terrain was right in front of them but that was way too late

Have you seen the actual crash video? The helicopter didn't fly into the hill. It was in a death spiral completely out of control which crashed them into the hill. Something had to have caused the pilot to lose control.

@@pattifeliciano7221 it wasnt real...

Patti Feliciano where can you see the actual video please.? Thank you for that it was not adding up to me.

Patti Feliciano that wasn’t his helicopter...the video you are referring to occurred in the Grand Canyon

It’s not the pilot fault though

I don't think it's the pilot's fault. People are quick to put blame on him because he's the one flying the helicopter but kobe could've pressured him a little bit and I'm sure the pilot didn't want to but he's flown kobe everywhere so many times before so he thought alright.

Marina Syndulla exactly

Yes, I live in LA and I remember how foggy the morning was. Couldnt see 20 feet in front of you

Its the pilot decision not Kobe. Rest in Peace Kobe, Gigi and all the other people who lost their lives😭😭

try watching one hit the ground in REAL time. no comparison guaranteed!

know what sweetie? you are going to die too and you have no control over when or where or how.

He said that?

There were mountain bikers about 200 to 300 feet away when the helicopter crashed.

ッMichaelx23 how awful

Brooke and Bryony Vids One of the doors flew so far that the bikers could pretty much touch it too. pretty sure they tried to go to the crash too to see if there were survivors but the helicopter was Already in a ball of flames at that point......

ッMichaelx23 and they found Kobe hugging Gigi apparently

Brooke and Bryony Vids I’m like 95% positive that didn’t happen cause nobody really know’s. And none of the biggest news channels have reported that either. Not sure tho

BLESS UP YOUNGING.

Devastated? Over a basketball player you never knew personally?

Hello.. Sandra

Apparently they do Alfredoz.

¡Estoy de acuerdo contigo! Tenían que estar juntos.

if that aircraft would have been equiped with the Honeywell gpws everything would have been fine.

exactly! turn back!

Conspiracy bro... check out the nike commercial to.

Heroes never never die either! Believe tha!

Wasn’t he charged with rapping a 19 year old?

@@biggils8894 Yes. Yes he was. But he's dead now, so we only talk about the good things. Not the serial infidelity, the Vanessa Bryant suicide attempts, him sabotaging his own teams when he couldn't get the spotlight, and the very clear indications that he was a cold-blooded sociopath. But oh well.

Ok we all know that the other people on board being killed is very sad. But Kobe and his daughter affected millions more than the rest of them combined

Thousands? I didn't know it was a chinook helicopter full of ppl.

@@thelordofthetundra2958 Looks like someone don't care about other people

@@thelegendaryt-rex4763 looks like he has never heard of or met those other people. Why would he care that much about people who have had no change in his life.

It was only 9 i think
