Godspeed Kobe

[Zapp]

It hurts too much, it is so unfair.

A helicopter accident has killed Kobe Bryant and his 13 years old daughter with other seven persons.

Two of the things that used to give me joy: basketball and flying, are the reason for an unbearable pain.

Too much. Goodbye legend, and thank'you for the emotions, and goodbye young girl, I was waiting for you to become a queen of world basketball.

Accident has sort of paralyzed folks in LA.  Kobe was so much more that 'just' a great basketball player.

A question that occurred to me looking at preliminary reports on accident is whether helicopters in this category have terrain avoidance displays etc.  Don't know much about current capabilities in these aircraft.

Very tragic.
