    The son was just telling me about this. His daughter was also with him.

    RIP.

    RIP to all 9 people lost in this tragedy

    VASAviation -
    A Sikorsky S-76B Helicopter (N72EX) performing flight from Santa Ana KSNA

    was transitioning to the west of Van Nuys KVNY along the 101 Freeway in very marginal weather when suddenly crashed in the area of Calabasas.

    All 9 onboard have reportedly perished - the five-time NBA Champion Kobe Bryant and his daughter were passengers of that flight.

    Probably wasn’t instrument rated or current. He requested SVFR but ended up in IMC and crashed. There was a witness who broke it down pretty well. https://youtu.be/28QYy8lrww8
