Why does this always come down to BUT THE TROOPS??????

I agree with the sentiment here, but it isn't Kobe's fault.
Listened to this this morning. It's a little unsettling but nothing over the top.Just checked in here to see people's reactions to that harrowing "thump" sound, but nobody even posted it??
I saw it on the Fox News app this morning. They got it from ABC. Somebody's doorbell camera at a nearby house caught audio of the crash. You hear the distinctive sound of a helicopter flying low, and then...."whump." There's no big boom or explosion, just a muffled, barely-audible thud as the copter goes right into the hillside under power.
To me it was a surprisingly unsettling recording. You're hearing the sound of Kobe Bryant and eight other people alive one second, and then an instant later, all dead.
I guess the ABC affiliate that released the video got complaints about how disturbing it was, because I just tried to re-post it here but evidently it's been taken down.
I am no pilot, but I have certainly been disoriented before diving in blackwater (ponds/rivers at night). sometimes your brain can overpower the instruments and it takes you a second to accept the correct heading and depth. we had nothing but bubbles for orientation and of course currents can affect that.So it’s looking like the pilot just got spatially disoriented and drove the chopper straight into the ground? I guess that would explain the extreme climb followed by the extreme dive.
Diving off the flybridge as teen way offshore I went in straight down like a bullet. Panicked for a second because with the beams of light I couldn’t tell which way to the surface. Bubbles finally showed me the way.I am no pilot, but I have certainly been disoriented before diving in blackwater (ponds/rivers at night). sometimes your brain can overpower the instruments and it takes you a second to accept the correct heading and depth. we had nothing but bubbles for orientation and of course currents can affect that.
I can see how easy it would be to get disoriented in the soup.
