    She had to do that because of the modern day lynch mob known as social media, and all you mouth breathers that jump in on them. Seriously, Knicks/ Lakers... Anyone possessing deduction and critical thought can clearly see what happened and what she said. Present company excluded, obviously. Stupid is as stupid does.

    It wasn't IFR certified and was flying under IFR conditions. BUT it was descending at 2,000' per minute. So either there was a mechanical malfunction or the pilot didn't trust his instruments and got vertigo. I know this bird had an artificial horizon, as even a cheap 152 has one.

    Plus now I find he was renting or leasing it. You'd think being worth $600 mil he would have bought one.

    I think if it were just joe blow. They would have been denied this permit or what ever it was to fly in bad weather. But it was Kobe so what the rich wants the rich gets. Also its disgusting that the others are known as just the others.
    If I don't ask any questions, I'll never learn anything.

    This was company owned and they were banned from flying in IFR. The report I read said they climbed over the fog, and then a sudden drop in altitude.
