I also can’t imagine the size of the life insurance policy that Kobe must’ve had.
The lawsuit names Island Express Helicopters Inc., operator of the service, and Island Express Holding Corp., owner of the craft. It also targets pilot Ara Zobayan's representative or successor, listed only as “Doe 1” until a name can be determined.
It’ll be interesting to see how it goes. Wonder what her response will be if she finds out the pilot felt pressured by him to fly.The love of money is the root of all evil. In today's greedy world, in the face of tragedy, people are interested in how they can financially prosper from the loss. Not to say that in some cases litigation isn't appropriate, but some of these lawsuits are simply ridiculous.
On a separate note, was Lebron not at the memorial?
This will be interesting. This will be where we see whether or not the pilot was getting pushed to fly.
Sometimes the strategy is to sue the pilot bc you know the other families are getting ready to sue Kobe's estate.
I think there's a decent likelihood that some of the other families were there before they flew off, agreed? the flight itself was delayed for a while then the flight got delayed mid-flight also.Your comment reminded me of this...
The owners of the boat in the California fire that killed 34 are employing a legal strategy described as 'heartless' that could limit payouts to $0
I seriously doubt it's a money grab but probably strategic in nature. How would anyone prove he was pressured into flying?
The thing people often don't understand about aircraft is how you create your own gravity and how that affects your perception. When you pull any amount of G (G stands for gravity), the little hairs in your inner ear get pulled in that direction by the acceleration force. Those hairs are used to being pulled straight toward the earth due to gravity, but when a plane is pulling any G they are being pulled in the opposite direction. With visual reference to the horizon this is no big deal but when you can't see anything your brain easily gets confused as to which way is up.
One of the best visual demonstrations of G force being controlled by the pilot is this old video from a famed test pilot named Bob Hoover.
I mean either way, I think she wins something because the pilot is ultimately responsible for the safety of the aircraft. What will be interesting to see is if they signed some sort of life and limb waiver.I think there's a decent likelihood that some of the other families were there before they flew off, agreed? the flight itself was delayed for a while then the flight got delayed mid-flight also.
Did they hear Kobe insisting that the pilot fly now so they were not late? Or did they hear the pilot assuring Kobe that he could fly through this mess while Kobe just wanted to call a car.
We will see what comes of it.
Not unless they find a Stinger in the trunk.Now the media will bury his wife and accuse her of something, just watch.
