[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that the helicopter was a regular means of transportation for Kobe.  But flying into heavy fog that grounded police and sheriff helicopters in the area, was an excessive and unnecessary risk. It just shouldn't have been done for an AAU basketball game. There was a game on Saturday, so they could have stayed in a hotel Saturday night.  My point is that all the risks we take in terms of driving in poor conditions; speeding; and texting while driving simply aren't worth it for these travel games.  [/quote]

Oh shut up.

Life is full of woulda shoulda couldas.

The pilot, Kobe and the FAA that allowed the flight to take off all wish they had a redo on this. It could have been a wedding he was going to or a work engagement. It is't AAU's fault. All of us at one time or another have over estimated our own skill versus the risk. IT was an error in judgement with tragic results, but really nothing more than that.

[/quote]Life is full of lessons too. Perhaps the lesson here is that we need to slow down. Running around to these games just isn't worth it. Same for weddings (See the JFK, Jr. crash) and work engagements.  [/quote]

I've been thinking of JFK Jr. too after what happened with [b]this helicopter[/b].  Something else that keeps coming to mind is the other passengers, probably so thrilled and honored to be riding with Kobe in his personal helicopter to a game.  I wonder if I'd have passed it up....[/quote]

JFK Jr. was a plane and he was the pilot. [/quote]

This helicopter meaning Kobe's.  I know the JFK Jr. circumstances, thank you.[/quote]
