Kobe Bryant dead? 1978 - 2020 ✝

[JIBBBY]

Poor Kobe he got blown to bits!!!

Quick death though.. Painless once the Heli exploded on impact..

His daughter did go with him also into the next life so it's not all that bad.. We all gotta die at some time.. Die quick and with family members is probably a good way to go out if you must..

My take..

My take..

But can you imagine the 30 seconds before, knowing you're going down. The worst.

But can you imagine the 30 seconds before, knowing you're going down. The worst.

Fear of dying doesn't physically hurt though but I can imagine it is scary and freaks you out in those last moments.

Kobe was in fog and the Heli impact was probably instant and with out warning.. I think they slammed into the mountain side and then exploded.. No fear just dead and blown up instantly..

Like I said not a horrible way to die when you think about it.. I'd take that instant death over most others.. Float away in spirit and up to God with your daughter.. All good if you look at it that way..

The worst thing there, Jibby, is not worrying about your own death. It is knowing your child is gonna die.

I agree with you Greaser!!! That does suck if you have time to think about that.. That Kobe daughter and the other one never had a chance to live out their lives at just 13 years old..

I'm always a bit sad when I see kids die.. Their lives are just starting out.. THAT SUCKS!!!!

Take it from me, my friend. That is not something you need time to think about.

So they want donations for the families that died when Kobe worth over 500 million unreal

Those families will for sure be filing wrongful death suits vs Kobe's estate. It was Kobe's plane they were on. They'll definitely get some of his money.

https://abc7news.com/5885870/

The coroner's office also said through the use of fingerprints it has confirmed the identity of four of the nine people killed in the crash: John Altobelli, 56; Kobe Bryant, 41; Sarah Chester, 45; and Ara Zobayan, 50.

Sounds like Kobe was already cremated.

I'm guessing it's for the other people on board. While it may take several years for a settlement to come from a lawsuit, the funeral homes and cemeteries want to be paid now to do the funeral and they aren't cheap. Those kids that lost both their parents and sister still need money to get through day to day expenses and now no longer have the breadwinners to immediately provide for them.

I'm sure other family/friends/neighbors are chipping in, but I don't have an issue with a fundraiser for the other passengers.

Come on Slayer. The donations are for the other victim families. Not one dime will go to the Bryant estate. The Mamba academy is also helping those families. Why are we always skeptical about everything? I thought it was total class the statement Vanessa Bryant gave. I don't think I could have done it. I cannot imagine what her and the other families are going through. It is hard enough to go through this type of grief. It is even harder when it is on the news 24 hours a day. These families are going to be reminded of this for a very long time.

Shaquille O'Neal will donate the proceeds of his Fun House Super Bowl week event in Miami to the families of the victims of the helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others Sunday, as well as to the Kobe and Vanessa Bryant Foundation.

even if the faces were even somewhat recognizable, fingerprints would have been used to ID. this is because just look at a dead person and assume who it is.

the fact the bodies even had fingerprints tells you there not necessarily completely burnt.

[jjgold]

Are there any bodies?

[stevek173]

Yesterday forensic doctors recovered Kobe Bryant's body from the crash site of the helicopter.
MTO News has confirmed that forensic doctors recovered the remains of the nine people who died in a helicopter crash near Los Angeles. And they identified the body of NBA legend Kobe Bryant.
But it was not easy.
Kobe's body, which has been described elsewhere as "burned beyond recognition," was officially identified along with three others with fingerprints, two days after his helicopter crashed on a steep slope northwest of the city.

Not my story......

So I have a story...When we lived in Phoenix, frequently my and Tom’s paths would cross in our work. A pediatric cardiologist I worked with asked me if Tom could get an autographed something from the Lakers for a 5 year old dying patient who was named Kobe. He was from one of the reservations in Arizona where basketball is life.
I called Tom at the Phoenix Suns making the request, believing that there would be virtually no way this would happen. The Lakers were coming to play the Suns later in the week. A day later Tom called me and said, “He’ll do it!” I was thrilled and thought I’d bring the ball or whatever it was to work. Tom said, “No, he read your story and he wants to come and meet the little boy.” I was floored!
So the next day, with the support of the Colangelo family, a limousine brought Kobe Bryant to my office. Under a cloak of secrecy - neither security or PR people were informed (I got in a little trouble for that but it was so worth it!) the three of us scrambled up a back staircase to this little boy’s room in cardiac ICU. For the better part of an hour they played basketball, passing it back and forth, with little Kobe, laughing, his sweet Mama smiling and laughing. Several autographed items were left and many photos were taken. The machines keeping him alive were dinging, whirring and alarming and his doc was just grinning from ear to ear, as Tom and I stood nervously watching this unbelievable scene unfold before us. As we got back in the limo, Kobe turned to me and said, “Kristen, what can I do to help? Is it a financial thing? Because I can take care of that.” It wasn’t. (The little boy had a heart defect and was too ill for a transplant.) I was floored. I was floored not only by his sincerity and offer of generosity, but the kindness and warmth he displayed.
Little Kobe passed away the following week. About three weeks later I got a letter from Little Kobe’s mom describing the power in those moments. She said those were the most joyful moments of his entire life. The photos were the only photos she had of him smiling. According to Kobe Bryant’s PR people he did this everywhere but the deal was - no PR. From that day on he has been my hero and when people would tell me they didn’t like him, I would say, “Let me tell you a story...”. May God shine eternal light upon your soul, Kobe.

This is the latest link I could find now still 2 days ago.. I guess they found a hand of Kobe in the wreckage.

Gotta think - When a heli hits ground and blows up full of fuel at high speeds, you get blown to bits...https://www.nydailynews.com/news/nat...wq4-story.html

nails it.....

I have had the same dream like three-four times in my life after having my second son, and each time after he'd reached the aga of 12 or so.....

we're on some kind of half ass crusie in some icy water, and he falls overboard.... I shit, immediately knowing there's no way in hell he'll ever survive in the frigid water, but I dive in immediately behind him knowing I'm as good as dead but I have to try and save my son......

wake up right as I hit the water every time, so thankful it was just a fukkin' dream......

[Auto Donk]

WTF LOL

looks like another 20 mins about to be shot as I determine how hard and long I'd pound, and estimate how long i'd last, with both lana rhoades sister and ave eden.........

No, these YouTube videos don't show Kobe Bryant's helicopter crash
More than a million people have been fooled by footage of a 2018 United Arab Emirates disaster.

Da da da... I know what's up in life fellas do you?.. ^^^

[GunShard]

Kobe had 100% trust in his long time pilot of 8,000 miles of piloting experience. To put his own life and everyone's life on the line. Who also picked up Kawhi Leonard in the past. Then the near .0000001% odds chance of crash happening. It takes bad weather, wrong place and wrong time for this to happen to fool an experienced pilot. Arrogance and impatience of flying through danger to save time for the tournament instead of safety and patience of 3 hours of driving through LA traffic.
