oldtimer Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I don't think he was a pilot. My wager is on maintenance. It's a huge deal with helicopters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted January 26, 2020 Moderators Share Posted January 26, 2020 Sad to hear this, and his daughter that was with him was only 13. I don't keep up with basketball but still knew he was one of the best just by seeing stories of him over the years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polizzio Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 From the KB wiki page updated already: "At 9:06 AM Pacific Standard Time on January 26, 2020, Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, and three others had taken off from John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California, in a Sikorsky S-76 helicopter owned by Bryant. The helicopter crashed in Calabasas, California at about 9:47 AM PST and caught fire. Personnel from the Los Angeles County Fire Department attended the scene, and the fire had been extinguished by 10:30 AM. Initial reports indicated that the helicopter crashed in the mountains above Calabasas in heavy fog. The incident is currently under investigation. Witnesses reported hearing a helicopter struggling before crashing." KB's youngest child is < a year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
