LOS ANGELES (AP) — Family members of four of the eight passengers killed in a helicopter crash with Kobe Bryant and his daughter have joined the NBA star’s widow in filing wrongful death lawsuits against the companies that owned and operated the aircraft.
Kobe Bryant’s wife, Vanessa, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the helicopter company her husband hired, claiming that their aircraft never should have been flying that morning.
NBA great Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, were buried Friday in a private funeral at a California cemetery.
The company that NBA star Kobe Bryant chartered for his last fatal flight, was not rated to fly in weather conditions that require instrument flying, according to a report.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The helicopter carrying Kobe Bryant didn’t have a recommended warning system to alert the pilot he was too close to land but it’s not clear it would have averted the crash that killed nine because the pilot may have lost control as the aircraft plunged into a fog-shrouded mountain, federal investigators said Tuesday.
More details about NBA star Kobe Bryant’s fatal helicopter crash are trickling out with police saying the copter flew despite heavy fog.
