In reply to the discussion: Kobe Crash-Keep the Children on the Ground! [View all]Blue_true
(31,261 posts)35. The Copter that Kobe had was the workhorse for
everything from corporate executives to news crews. It is a cousin of the military's Blackhawk copters. Like someone pointed out, an investigation is being done, that will answer questions. For the time being, it is a tragedy.
BTW, Kobe and that particular daughter seemed to do a lot together, she was a star basketball player. My guess is she rode in that copter with him plenty of times.

If they cannot choose to fly by helicopter, they also cannot choose to travel by car.

I've thought this about flying many times. Statistically safer, until there is a malfunction.
