I’m highly skeptical of the all 4 of his daughters dying. The original report before it came out as Kobe said 5 passengers. That means he would have been flying the helicopter and had his 6 month old with him.

ABC News may have f'ed up beyond belief reporting his daughters were on board.
I can understand misspeaking. I cannot understand not coming back immediately and saying at a minimum that it's unconfirmed and they misspoke. Immediate termination should be required for whoever screwed that up and didn't think to clear it up.

My daughter just texted me that TMZ is saying that his oldest daughter was on board and that they were on their way to her basketball practice.
I haven’t found that article yet.

Not to make light of this, but I typed in Kobe in the search box in Twitter. It said that "something went wrong, twitter is over-capacity". Kobe's last act was to break Twitter. RIP Mamba.

I always cheered for Jordan when he was in the finals, but never the Lakers. Kobe was the most feared "opponent" I've ever seen. I just felt like he was going to come out on top. Dude was just a killer on the court.

Fog is thought to be the cause of the crash. Absolutely stunned. RIP Kobe Bryant. One of the greatest to ever lace em up.

I hope not, not sure why there would be a rush to be wrong on reporting this.

the idea it was all 4 daughters earlier is awful reporting.

Multiple sources are reporting that it was not Rick Fox.
His daughter also confirmed that he is alive and was not on the helicopter.

I know Kobe was a mega star and a great talent and person, but I am getting a little annoyed by all the coverage of just him, when two children and two other adults also lost their lives. Their deaths are just as tragic to their loved ones.

I too wish that all tv channels were wall-to-wall coverage of regular people who died that day.

I mean if I was in a giant arena full of people, and I could either blow my whistle and chop my hips and make everyone quiet and disappointed, or I could blow it and put my hand behind my head, take three giant steps the other direction, karate punch the air, and make everyone lose their absolute ****, I'd be biased too.

We need to change it so that the required signal for a charge is to sit down, spread your legs, and pretend you're fingering your ******* to completion. If you think it's really a charge, prove it. Show us it's a charge. The crowd will still pop, but by god you need to earn it.


Made me drop my soup spoon, stand up and applaud you sir ...right here in the Cumberland gap tea house ...if I say more I’ll ruin the moment

Absolutely because that is so obviously what I meant.

[eyeroll]
You want equal time for the news to cover the deaths of four people that weren’t famous - because it is just as tragic to their loved ones. Every person’s death is just as tragic to their loved ones and thousands of people die in the US everyday. If every persons’ death is a tragic to their loved ones, then they all should be given equal coverage. This scenario plays out as wall-to-wall tv coverage of daily deaths. This explanation highlights how stupid your original take is, as written. That’s what I “meant.”
