The investigation into the death of Kobe Bryant via a tragic helicopter crash has been ongoing. Now, details from the investigation have been surfacing, with reports noting that Kobe did not place any pressure on his helicopter pilot to fly through potentially dangerous conditions that were present on January 26, 2020.
Investigators in the matter said, “There was no evidence that Island Express, the air charter broker or the client [Kobe Bryant] placed pressure on the pilot to accept the charter flight request or complete the flight and adverse weather." According to reports, NTSB investigators are claiming that the pilot was experiencing “spatial disorientation” right before the crash. The disorientation allegedly made the pilot think the helicopter was rising when it was descending in reality.
Investigators also pointed out that Kobe and the pilot had a long-standing professional relationship, and that Kobe, saying “This type of relationship that he had with the client can lead to self-induced pressure during the en-route portion of the flight.”
