Perhaps trying to turn around and hit the terrain.. He was flying along 101.

So from this it looks like as the pilot was following the 101 freeway as it rose through the pass he eventually realized he couldn't make it and proceeded to gain altitude to avoid terrain and started a turn to get out of the weather. It seems at this point he became disorientated in the clouds and banked too sharply and basically dropped the helicopter.
I guess I don't see Kobe's issue in Colorado as being lumped into the category of "we all make mistakes, and he learned from his and is better for it."
Considering he was on trial for rape, nearly tore apart his family (daughter of a few months old at the time), had to settle a civil suit, lost massive endorsements and suffered terrible humiliation. Honestly, if that doesn't scare somebody straight, they are a sociopath.
The only thing that bugs me is that it seems like every celebrity acquaintance and friend that's all over the media seems hell bent on banging the drum of Kobe was first and foremost a great husband and father.
Strange of people to be focusing on the more positive things when someone dies. How very, very strange.
People focusing on the positive -not strange.Strange of people to be focusing on the more positive things when someone dies. How very, very strange.

Constantly talking up what a great example he is as a husband and father- a bit strange.
I understand there is a huge difference, but there is also a huge difference in being accused versus being guilty. Kobe was never found guilty of anything in the situation yet instead of celebrating his life, people act like he was found guilty of the crime.I don't necessarily agree with the folks saying he is not a good guy, but your comparison is kind of ridiculous. There's an ocean of difference between Carson King's past tweets and Kobe's Colorado incident.
Poor jokes said as a youth shouldn't dog you for your whole life.
Sexual Assault?... It's in a completely different league.
That is true and a good point.husband might be strange. But father isn’t.
This is not nearly as exonerating as it sounds, but a topic for a different thread.I understand there is a huge difference, but there is also a huge difference in being accused versus being guilty.

That's fair. Thread should be about remembering Kobe. I'll stay on topic.This is not nearly as exonerating as it sounds, but a topic for a different thread.
It's a lot more complicated than just "He was never found guilty."I understand there is a huge difference, but there is also a huge difference in being accused versus being guilty.

Jerry West has always looked like a million bucks but this is taking a TOLL on him. He has a lot of pain on his face, a lot.TNT is doing a pregame at Staples about Kobe. Im only a few minutes in, but man, I think there are onions in the house.
Is there anything wrong with focusing on the man he became vs the man he was 15 years ago.I guess I don't see Kobe's issue in Colorado as being lumped into the category of "we all make mistakes, and he learned from his and is better for it."
