I remember tracking Kobe Bryant’s point totals in the newspaper and saw him play on television. It was a great shock for me when I learned he had been killed.
I wasn’t even a fan of him when it came to basketball. I did love following him for his family and what he was doing with Mamba Academy. It was really sad to hear how horribly they all died.
@@heatherlynsey3092 he shouldn't of been flying
@@mattyy101 no he shouldn't have underestimated just how dense the fog was when he suddenly encountered it about 60 miles into the flight. He should have stopped and did a 180 and found a suitable place to land
@@mattyy101 **have** not (of)
He wasn’t killed.
ITS AMAZING HOW PILOTS FLEW HELICOPTERS IN THOSE FOG INFESTED JUNGLES OF VIETNAM.
You have to bear in mind US pilots in Vietnam suffered massive amounts of aviation mishaps
A lot of American helicopters also crashed in Vietnam. The most amazing thing about it, in my mind, is how little people seemed to care about aircraft crashing.
United States military lost in Vietnam almost 10,000 aircraft. They did fly them, and they often crashed them. Sad but true.
YES IT IS.
who invited you to comment lol
California gets really bad fog. Especially in the mountains. I used to live in an area with a lot of fog and it was scary driving sometimes, you couldn't see 10 ft in front of you.
So bad fog 🌫️ is limited to California 🥴.
@@HoodAdventures Where did I say that? You tried but you’re too slow.
The helicopter didn’t encounter any fog let alone fog even denser than you just described until about 90 miles into the 100-mile flight and 40 miles northwest of LA.
Rest of peace kobe Bryant 😢 goodbye
Great video for it's conclusion.
So 😢
I can't believe I lost my hero in this tragic and sudden way!! 1💔😭
That's scary
Wow They Really Put this On National Geographics
Bro! Right?! I was so surprised
*1:13** Ara Zobayan: "We're gonna go ahead and start our climbin' to go above the layers"*
RIP Kobe 😔🙏🏼
1 thing goes wrong in a car you can just stop the car on a plane/helicopter you can’t just stop it . 😭
I think it was not the helicopter that went wrong. Sadly, I think it was the pilot that messed up.
That's misleading. 43,000 people die each year in fatal car crashes, because of stupid and drunk driving by other idiot drivers. There are almost no idiot pilots i bet.
my dude 95% of aircrashes r due to pilot error and not due to aircraft's problem
Full episodes
RIP KOBE 🥲
Condolence to the families who had lost their love ones on that flight. It only shows how life can be uncertain and its like a flower quickly fading. We may be here today but may be gone tomorrow. That's why this world is not yet your and our home... There's a best home that God prepared for you and us because He loves us and in that home there's no more sin, no more evil, no more sickness, no night, no more tiredness, no sleep needed and everything will be perfect. John 14:2 "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you." Jesus loves you so much man that He gave his life for you on the cross for the payment of our sins. He died there as a man and fully paid our sins' penalty. But since Jesus is God, He rose again on the 3rd day alive which means we can have Eternal life in Christ Jesus alone by grace not by the law... Believe and receive Jesus Christ now and make Him your Saviour and Lord.. then ask forgiveness of your sins and repent. We may not be perfect but trust Him to change you. Then after you believe, you become a child of God and He wants you to Remain in Him and continue doing good for His glory and honor because your good works are your treasures in heaven. John 1:12 "Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, he gave the right to become children of God.." Just trust Jesus and become a child of God. Your decision. You choose before its too late. Matthew 6:20-"But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal." God bless. You are free to accept or reject Jesus Christ, the Source of eternal life.
Amen
The NTSB investigation final report for this accident has been published in February 2021, over a year ago. We may be past the 'looking for clues' phase. RIP Kobe and the other souls lost in this tragedy.
Kobe got rid of pilots that made detours or unexpected stops. He clearly was willing to trade some safety for expediency, and that’s exactly what he got.
@@randbarrett8706 --Your comment is asinine. You’re not a mind reader, so you can’t know the thoughts in Bryant's head. Your childish "safety for expediency" claim is bullsh*t, and suggests someone desperate for others to think that he/she has some special insight into this accident. Grow up, and stick to the known facts instead.
@@randbarrett8706 this wasn’t Kobe’s fault. The pilot made his own decision about 90 miles into the 100-miles flight and 40 miles northwest of LA to underestimate the fog because he’d encountered it too many times. For the first 30 minutes flight, visibility was about 4 miles with an overcast ceiling of a quarter mile but the pilot managed to fly at just the right altitude. But then the clouds got just too dense and too low and by the time the pilot realized he had underestimated it, it was too late to abort the flight. But even more sadly, the helicopter didn’t have a black box and none of the instruments were ever recovered and the rest of the facts just don’t add up.
Narrator voice sounds cool
What series/episode is this?
Thought this was meant to be shown today but episode 8 was aired instead
@@hayley8077 Any idea when this will air on UK TV?
@@CatsRUs1888 it is on demand now if you haven’t seen it yet.
@@IreZico Thanks
Wow I was way off on the situation in the helicopter. This is like a private plane. There’s a cockpit essentially and the passengers r in the back in another room. I thought it was like an old school helicopter the pilot and the passengers are together in the same room
The Goat 🐐
I’ll never forget that day it was extremely foggy
1:13 *Were gonna start climbin' above the Layers.*
wheres the rest of this video?
Oj CZcams
Ok, where’s the rest of this video
Why showing us a short video?
The full video is on the actual National Geographic TV channel (and I believe they have a streaming service at this point).
where is the full episode?
You have to have a cable subscription.
That’s not answering the question

Is that you Kenny
Is it possible helicopter controls locked up ? Also another video shows fuselage gave out from the rear look it up
There's no evidence of any mechanical shortcoming with the aircraft. All evidence points to spatial disorientation, followed by loss of aircraft control. It's a common cause of accident.
Yes elemental disorientation was the cause as reported by the news
@@birdbangbobaruni -- _Spatial_ disorientation, friend.
@@cardinalRGWhat is a pilot trained to do in that situation? Sounds horrible
@@jake-qn3tl --Instrument-rated pilots, like the accident pilot here, are trained to fly by instruments alone, with no dependence on outside visual reference. But it's an acquired skill, not a natural one, and can degrade or be lost altogether without regular practice. The evidence strongly suggests that the accident pilot was simply too far out of practice to maintain control of the aircraft by instruments alone, once he encountered less-than-minimum visibility.
What kind of helicopter cockpit is that
Sikorsky S-76B
Is it me or does the guy who is talking to the pilot look a lot like MatPat?!
God that sucks he almost was at his destination
Disappointed that I can't watch this episode or series on Disney Canada. Thumbs down.
0:15 what?
After he said less then 10 minutes of their destination I had to stop watching
Why didn't they have parachut in their heli
yo
I wonder why the pilot didn't follow the coast to avoid the bad weather?...
He doesn't have clearance. LA County is heavily regulated airspace. If you fly over that route near Van Nuys, you are mandated to follow the route to the T and, if you really have to change course, you have to OK it with ATC and they will not let you divert all they way over to the coast. There's a lot of air traffic in this area at any one time.
@@eddietat95 I suppose the pilot never even asked to go the coast route? Could have been a different outcome if he did...
@@chopjockey He did not. It's considered an obvious "no" from ATC. Best he could have done is ask ATC to slow down on the route or even stop in mid-air. However, that would have meant a delay, which is still unfortunately looked down upon in the commercial aviation industry.
I don’t get who authorized them to fly
If u r wondering why u haven't gotten any hits its out of respect.
KOBE was the one.
Just understand safe travels in them vehicles is not granted and sometimes chance overshadow luck if I ever got on one I was a bot too if his ass wasn't doing the shit he'd be alive
Kobe bryant 🐍
Cope bryant
Why couldn't it listen to the warning
Why is that crash more tragic than any other crash????????????????
I think because it happened recently
Bro are you serious? ‘More tragic then any other crash’ has this man heard of 9/11, JAL 123, PAN AM 1736 KLM 4805 bro for real saying this is more tragic
Because some tall rich celebrity died
@@WillmottDesigns28I’ll add MH370 to your list too 💔
Because it’s Kobe who are the other people? Nobody knows them.
But now kobe bryant you're going to go with the helicopter why!!
Why are you second-guessing Bryant's preference to fly?
That's their fault
Actors..lol
Who is kobe bryant ?
U are kidding right
@@donnalombardo1135 No, never heard of this person. Was he/she someone important ?
@@1240enzo hes a famous basketball player who died in the helicopter crash a couple of years ago with his daughter
@@donnalombardo1135 Well that’s why I have never heard of him, I have zero interest in basketball. I wouldn’t even know which country he is from. So outside of people who are interested in basketball, I would be pretty sure few would have heard of him. A sad loss I am sure to his family, friends and those who are interested in the game.
An American
Kobe preferred expediency over careful flying, and that is exactly what he got. Besides, part of the reason all those people were in the helicopter is because they didn’t want to be slowed down by all the lesser mortals below them in terrestrial transport, they literally put themselves above others. That’s why I can’t call the resulting crash and deaths a tragedy.
Bruh
@randbarrett8706 --Your comment is asinine. You’re not a mind reader, so you can’t know the thoughts in the heads of Bryant and the other passengers. And your childish characterization that they “put themselves above others” suggests someone who's desperate for others to think that he/she has some special insight into this accident. Grow up, and stick to the known facts instead.
So people who take planes think themselves "above others"? You're a loon.
How the hell can you assume any of that bullshit? He's responsible for the helicopter and the people(especially his child)'s safety are his priority over a youth ball game. That pilot knew motherfucking well NOT to fly in those conditions. No celebrity can just overrule federal laws and official training.
You’re an idiot if you actually looked into the crash you’d see how they had a planned route they couldn’t take because of the fog near Santa Monica and lots of congestion of planes coming in and out of la and his heli didn’t have special access just because he’s famous , the pilot made a left turn and got spatially disoriented and didn’t realize they were descending and didn’t know it until it was too late because of the fog have some respect and research before you blame Kobe a guy in a helicopter that’s not even flying the damn thing
