The shock death of NBA legend Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna remains warm on the agenda. An official from the U.S. National Transport Security Board (NTSB) said today that the pilot of the helicopter crashed on Sunday attempted to float above the clouds shortly before the crash.
Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, who made his name in gold in the history of basketball, died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, Los Angeles last Sunday. The accident that led to the death of a total of 9 people, including 8 passengers and 1 pilot, began to appear gradually behind the scenes.
Jennifer Homendy, an independent government agency from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), investigating transport accidents in the United States (USA), held a press conference on the accident. Stating that the wreckage area extends for 150-180 meters in rough terrain, Homendy stated that the works are continuing with great care.
It is stated that the helicopter with Kobe Bryant and his daughter fell due to heavy fog.
Homendy said that the Sikorsky S-76B model helicopter departed from John Wayne Airport on Sunday morning at 09:00 and stated that the pilot returned to Glendale for about 12 minutes. “I want to follow the flight,” said the pilot, who made a tough take off. Flight tracking meant flight tracking and guidance. “But air traffic controllers are still at very low altitude for flight tracking,” said the NTSB official, who continued his statements. “I am climbing up to avoid a cloud cluster,” the pilot said after about four minutes, but when the controllers asked the pilot about the final situation, he could not get any more answers. ”
According to the radar records, the helicopter started to fall to the left quickly after it reached up to 700 meters. Sikorsky S-76B helicopter, which disappeared from the radar at 09:45, crashed on a hillside about 330 meters above sea level.
Stating that the helicopter does not have a “black box” to hold cockpit data or sound recordings, Homendy shared the information that the pilot used an iPad for flight plans and weather information.
