Let this be a lesson to everyone, don't trust your life with people that have money and fame, these people usually are the most Reckless people out there. Just because you give a man millions to dribble a basketball does not mean that the pilot he has hired is a responsible person, don't be Starstruck and let that Jade your common sense. This should also be a lesson learning that the media in this country thinks your life is so insignificant and the only person worth mentioning is their so-called star or Hollywood's figure. I hope these families sue the crap out of Kobe Bryant's family, this fool got all those innocent people killed.
@@markkulyas2418 I hate to say it, but I think this is an instance where money and fame blurred the judgement of a very experienced pilot.....and they all died as a consequence. Time will tell, but it certainly appears to be pilot error. I understand where you're coming from...
I hate to sound like Larry David but is there any other way to rest? This rest in peace stuff makes it sound like the dead is tossing and turning every five minutes.
The S-76 is a very safe helicopter! Don't let what happened with Kobe Bryant's crash scare you. The pilot made a bad decision to fly in IMC conditions not the helicopter! The helicopter only does what the pilot inputs. This was not mechanical error, this was a bad judgment call.
Carolina Foods well said Carolina!!! I pray that people don’t become irrational by the events that took place. It was the actual weather conditions that played an intricate part of the crash that killed the 9 passengers and a detrimental mistake of the pilot.... unfortunately
@H Joseph, I totally disagree with your reply. Most helicopter flights are done in VFR flight conditions making them very safe aircraft. Lack of judgment with combination of IMC conditions makes for a dangerous flight. The Sikorsky S76 has been the leader in safety for a long time. Don't be so quick to judge an aircraft based on pilot error. The TAS system are still too this day optional.
I shouldn't ask what happened to you because it not any of my business. But glad to know that you're okay. Even though we've never met. I was life flighted by COX AIR CARE to Cox medical south in Springfield, Missouri from Monett, Missouri due to respiratory failure in 2015 at the age of 39. I'm now 45 and still alive.
Great Helicopter!..Pilot error is what put this chopper down. High percentage of all aviation accidents is human error. Sad but true! 😢 RIP Kobe, Gianna, Altobelli and Chester family, coach Christina Mauser and pilot Ara Zobayan. 🙏💔🏀
It wasn't Pilot error. This pilot was terrible. He should have went down slowly with the helicopter instead of going 185 miles an hour in a fog. Why the Pilot descended at that speed in a fog is crazy
@@tylerhaynes7812 It was all over the news how the pilot was descending down at a speed of 185 miles an hour in the fog. I heard a helicopter pilot say something this week which i think answers the main question. He thinks the pilot thought he was going up when he was going down in the fog. That's why he thought the pilot was descending so fast at 185 miles per hour. The Pilot was trying to go up, but didn't realize the helicopter was going down. The helicopter pilot said in a fog, you might not know if you're going up or down.
I don't like choppers. They could have driven that day. Sunday morning traffic isn't that bad in LA. I live in San diego. I travel to LA TWICE A MONTH on Sunday mornings. I'm so sorry this happened.
For sure, even before this tragedy, never felt safe in a chopper or twin engine Cessna, at least you have some chance in a Big Jet! very sad all the way around.
The choices we make..... damn this hurts.... R.I.P. to all 9 of the people in the Kobe Bryant helicopter accident.... This one gonna hurt for a long time... 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
These are the Rolls Royces of helicopters - incredibly reliable and safe if you don't choose to fly by visual flight rules in mountain areas, at zero visbility. Very, very sad about Kobe. May ALL of those who lost their lives - including the pilot, who appears to have simply made a bad decision - rest in peace. It's so freaking sad. My heart goes out to the family members.
Fog was not the problem. The problem was flying visually instead of by the instruments when the weather created poor visibility. Helicopters can fly in fog & if pilots are rated to fly by instruments, they can too.
Caleb Mandrake that was the problem. It was foggy and he couldn’t see. What are you talking about? He’s not dissing the helicopter he’s talking about decision making. Furthermore the pilot and company was not allow to file a flight plan.
I had a friend involved in a car/ semi truck accident during the fog one night. 3 people died. 4 cars and one semi truck involved. Ever since then, I respect the fog and park on until it’s gone.
There is not a thing wrong with this helicopter, but if your pilot with a rich celebrity breathing down your back, pressuring you to fly on a bad foggy day in inclement weather mistakes can happen.......
Love the 76. Those powerplants are super tough and I have ran them full tilt for near whole flights and as soon as the FADEC kicks back in they still hum like it was nothing.
My dad was an engineer and rode with Mr Sikorsky on his first test flight of first helicopter he invented (or one of them) in the late 1950's, early 1960's...
90 people a day die in car accidents just in the USA. You far more likely to die in your car on the way to the airport than in the aircraft. Private aircraft definitely have a worse safety record. But it's still higher than driving.
@@tonyd360 Also women are much more likely to survive a crash with their husband than a crash with a lion. Still much more women are dying because of a crash with their husband.
@@tonyd360 Right . # 1. There's way more vehicles than aircraft . #2. Aircraft usually transport more occupants. Take the Canary islands accident. How many people died? 583 !!!! Whens the last time a car accident involved that many ? I'll drive to wherever I wanna go.
Watching this after watching the last moments of Kobe’s chopper while it was circling glendale gave me goosebumps. It wasn’t foggy in the video, but when it took of just looking at the sky is so similar to the day of that crash.
This feels surreal 9 people lost there lives and the rest of lost part of are souls the world lost one of greatest athletes, a loving father, a loving husband we all lost a part of ourselves may the 9 rip
We get it RU-vid one of the Legends and his loved ones died in this dinosaur...Sick if seeing it on my timeline.Anyone else keep seeing this Chopper???
@Chris D I know it's a running joke, but that's not how it works at all. Democrats would most likely rather demand that all helicopters be outfitted with the necessary instrument to prevent something like this from happening again meanwhile Republicans would be against enforcing private companies to comply with such an order because it's government over-stepping and would make companies spend money causing them to lose potential profit margins. Yes, I am fun at parties.
No it's not you stupid fuck tard! Kobe and passengers were sacrificed! They planned this shit! It's called "predictive programming"! Look it up asswipe!
I am 44, just started back flying after 39 years of being afraid to fly. I love flying now, in fact I have a helicopter excursion planned for an upcoming trip in the Bahamas. My kids want me to cancel, I'm not going to. Living in fear sucks. But like you said we all have to go someday. My heart goes out to the families.
@@Gracekeys5 lol. Wow that is a long time. I love flying 2. It's not even the machines at fault sometimes. It's the pilot. I'm going to London soon and I know I have to fly. Just don't want to sit in a air craft holding on to the seat. Lol. Can you imagine those people last minute in that helicopter. 😔.
John Osborne ya so true. But I still think they were all screaming in the last 30 seconds. They were going too fast into that hill. They had to know. Kinda like a roller coaster. But after impact, barely no pain. Is my guess.
Used to work on the S-76A at PHI and this aircraft looks good and flies great. However, a bit hard to work on due to all shafts are shimmed and some are hard to get at.
Richard Baker. My late and very awesome uncle worked for PHi in Lafayette for 35yrs and was very fond of his S-76s and S-92s. The S-76 is my all time fave next to the Bell 222 series.
Nice chopper, they just needed a pilot to say “ too much fog, I abort, this is not safe”, but the pilot was a young buck that didn’t know better , trying to impress a celebrity, and the tower should have grounded choppers from flying through mountains in dense fog ..... do I have to educate everybody ??
Oh the dumb comments are not going to stop anytime.As someone into Aviation and you don't have to be in Aviation to know certain do some research.A helicopter and a fix wing aircraft is a lot more safer than a driving a car.The pilot that crashed with Kobe made his call,he decided to take a risk when everyone was grounded that morning.There is a saying and it applies to every machine we operate''Risk takers are accident Makers'' The next pointer you cannot flying VFR in IFR conditions such as fog.For the love of God it won't work,don't try it!!!!
Splendid wonders of aviation technology.Perhaps during entire my life span I would be deprived of taking an onboard trip in any of these and this would be a great regret in my case.
: the Air Rescue Choppers Were Grounded Because of the Horrendous Fog .Pilot Should Have NOT Took the Chance of DISASTER,Mother Nature Doesn't Let Up for ANYONE.R.I.P. To All The Unfortunate Passengers.
There are a lot of moving a parts on a Helicopter that when working as designed, it flies perfectly. When one of more of those parts fails, it can be uncontrollable.
I bet the safest thing to fly on today is one of these helicopters. After an accident like this brings attention to an industry , everyone from the mechanics working on them to the people flying or cleaning them , is on their super A game.
@@Caleb_Mandrake872 Exactly, they are beautiful machines. Slightly more dangerous than an airplane but much much safer than cruising down the interstate at 75-80 mph.
Until the NTSB publishes its report, we don't know with 100% certainty. But if you see discussions by highly responsible seasoned heli-pilots, they have a very good idea.
@@ericstevens2586 He ran into that (fog) weather - dont think he planned on it, or it was worse than he thought. At any rate - it overwhelmed him while he was trying to get out of it. Horrible & Sad. Maybe he could gave done a better preflight - - maybe
@@ericstevens2586 Arrogance? Yes, most likely!! (and possibly some ignorance as well). You have to be very *HUMBLE* in aviation. Otherwise, at some point in your flying career, aviation will definitely HUMBLE YOU!! (as, what happened in this case!)
I have never grieved this hard over someone’s death I didn’t know Personally. As a matter of fact these Deaths have hit me as hard as anyone I have known. I just keep reliving the Reality that they all perished but I’m still in denial for some reason. 😢
RIP Kobe Bryant 😢😥😥 but you should all remember that is the fire chief of piston peak Blade ranger!🚁😡😐 I'm going to tell ya all that is a character from the movie Planes: Fire and Rescue!
Every youtube video of an S-76 has comments about Kobe Bryant. Have any of you gone on the comments section of a Blackhawk video and mourned the death of military members for a crash in the middle east? No. Shallow ass people. Ya'll think more of some basketball player than people that have been in harm's way for their freedom.
Realistically, They probably had a horrible feeling in the last few moments. If a pilot asks for special permission to fly in bad weather, it would set anyone's nerves on edge; secondly, wasting 15 minutes in a holding pattern is tense, and lastly when all visuals are lost in clouds, it's apparent to everyone onboard. Pretty sure all were in a state of panic. Hillside may have come into view in last second.
The Sikorsky is a huge copter. Oh my God. I can't imagine controlling that copter the way the eye witness described Kobe's copter at a low level for 15 minutes then flying into dense clouds with no instrument to guide and no co-pilot. Geez.
When the entire police air choppers were grounded for poor visibility, that should have been a sign not to fly that day. It was a very said day indeed, a great man died a family is gone and 3 children gone including Kobe’s beautiful Girl. I wish they would have decided to Drive that foggy day. RIP to all 9
Before Kobe's death, I was always terrified of Helicopters.. Now I can't even stand to hear them passing over my roof. RIP to everyone who lost Their lives on that helicopter 🙏🏾
He had lots of hours in the air. How many hours did he have in thick fog? There goes our chance of flying cars/human drones in LA! If Kobe’s pilot can’t get him to his destination safely in heavy fog, how will humans get into flying cars? Enjoy sitting in traffic.
Elon Musk is still building tunnels underground. Get you from LA to DC in an hour. Seems much safer until something happens. Imagine getting stuck underground...
Malki Tzedek Getting stuck in a tunnel seem about as awful as nose diving in a aircraft. I wouldn’t want to go under ground to travel. That’s not what I envision for future travel. I can imagine myself getting into one of the newly built human drones that I’ve seen on RU-vid and easily traveling just above the height of power lines or tree line. 50-100 feet off the ground. And flying 60 miles away to get some groceries and then flying home. A trip that would take me 45 minutes 1-way is now cut down to 15 minutes or less. That’s what I imagine for the future. Not only can I easily imagine it, but I can really feel it. But we need to master the understanding of gravity and make these drones incredibly safe and easy to use. We’re almost there. I think we need to by pass what we imagined a helicopter to be. I think that innovation has been very limited in thinking, inventing, and planning. The airplane has been a huge success in aviation. But there are still so many helicopter accidents. Just think of all the helicopter accidents in 2019 alone. Human Drones will walk all over the helicopter when it comes to safety and effectiveness.
I realizes you never know how your gonna go, and it's really not up to you, "if you can help it". But the older I get, I like to think of ways not to end up slamming into the ground or catching on fire, especially with someone else's in control. Only way I fly if it's a matter of life or death.
ENCOMAN ENCO IKR. People think I’m crazy when I tell them I’ve never been in the air no roller coasters no planes no 🎡 smh clearly I have a major fear of flying! But death is something we can’t escape. I agree.
