DuckyBoys Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 Horrible news prayers for all of the victims families.
Boatdrinks Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 An awful tragedy and seems it just got worse. Very sad all the way around. Terrible look by CNN ( reportedly) mentioning his transgression. Definitely not the time and Kobe Bryant did a lot more good than bad in life. Nobody’s perfect and he was well respected . RIP 1

Expand It's wasn't that foggy. Local LA TV was reporting on it live early on before they had any idea who was on board.

They reported it on espn. Did I hear it right? I pray I didn’t. Expand They're saying on NBC 'survived by wife and 4 daughters"
djp14150 Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 There is a low cloud ceiling so in some parts there coukd be fog because clods hot the surface.

Expand I’ll remember, in part because I heard in a text from my son while actually doing something with family that was very memorable in it’s own right. I remember hearing the news about Magic being HIV positive on the car radio on the way back from a work golf tournament outside Columbia, SC right after hurricane Hugo. The course had lost almost every tree, and they were piled up in areas like mountains. It was downright spooky! I remember very specific details about that entire day. 1

Not Pearl Harbor, but not nothing. Expand I agree it’s a big story. My gf said “I heard Kobe Johnson crashed in a helicopter” clearly she doesn’t care about basketball and it made it to her... which says a lot. but also most people won’t remember where they were either

It’s not a wholesale tragedy like 9/11 or such things.

Expand Magic was 10 times more known than Kobe. HIV was a distant thing so that elevated HIV to not being just a gay person disease. the issue of where were you when would only occur with local Lakers fans. Kobe is not st that celebrity level.
BillsFan4 Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) ESPN confirming that his 13yr old daughter was on board with Kobe, another parent and child headed to their basketball practice. ? Edited January 26, 2020 by BillsFan4
