Now the media will bury his wife and accuse her of something, just watch.

Early rumors are that Greta Thunberg says it was Mother Earth getting even because he was flying a private aircraft instead taking an electric car or walking.

Al Gore and AOC agree, but say "too soon".

This ruined my day. He was amazing in so many ways. Just had another daughter. I’m devastated. Been following him since he entered high school at Lower Marion which is near where I grew up. For as many years that he was in the spotlight, as the best player in b-ball, he was for the most part a class act.

So fun to watch play and his intensity was and is few and far between. Thank you, it was a joy watching you. RIP Kobe and God Bless your wife and children.

I have not seen nor heard that anywhere except a Twitter rumor

it isn’t a rumor. The local abc affiliate actually said it on air. That the kids have not immediately been ruled out is most troubling. They said his wife wasn’t on board as soon as the news broke.

Was never a huge fan but was during his final game when he dropped 60. Classic Kobe.

Very sad. I had a buddy who was a flight instructor in Pensacola who bounced a bird off the deck in a field nearby after losing all power. Said he didn’t have a single bit of fear as he went into autorotation....his training took over. But the second he hit the deck he damn near freaked out.

I just feel sick for his family. RIP.

TMZ reporting his oldest daughter, Gianna, was on the helicopter.

ABC 7 is the local station. Not seeing it reported that way, but also can't see the live news there

I had a friend who was in the Marines and I happened to run into him shortly after he was promoted to O-6. When I offered my congrats he asked me if I knew the best thing about making “full bird.” As I was never in the military I told him no, to which he replied “It now takes someone with stars on their shoulders to order me onto a helicopter. You know God only grants us so many safe flights on a helicopter and nobody knows what their number is.”

Vanessa Bryant has to be beside herself. She lost her husband and daughter.

So sad. Doesn't matter what you think of him personally he was one of the best players to ever live. And the thought of his daughter too....man that really sucks.
