Horrific Kobe Crash Could Have Been Avoided!

Pilot was foolish to fly in dense fog, say experts

Basketball legend Kobe Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter and seven other people didn’t have to die in the horrifying helicopter crash that shocked the world!

A GLOBE special investigation reveals the doomed Sikorsky S-76B chopper was not carrying a black box recording device, which could have told investigators what was happening when the craft smashed into mountains west of Los Angeles.

The absent gizmo could have given clues as to what happened to the luxury craft after it lifted off about half an hour earlier in dense fog described as “very scary,” a situation that led L.A. police and county sheriff’s helicopter fleets to be ordered grounded the morning of Jan. 26.
