I think the same happened to Buddy Holly.

Buddy died in a plane crash with Richie Valens in 1959.

So was Kobe the pilot?

He is a licensed helicopter pilot so it’s very possible

That was a plane crash, I believe. Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. It's what the song American Pie is about..."The day the music died".

I’ve heard that report has not been confirmed

on a side note you wouldn’t catch me on a helicopter. The ones in Hawaii, NY, Alaska crash frequently it seems. One of my best friends flew them in Desert Storm after the Air Force Academy. Lost his whole squadron in Vegas on a training mission and he told me once something goes wrong there is almost nothing you can do

He was referring to somebody giving up a spot on the plane, not that Buddy Holly died in a helicopter

Awful news, so sad.

RIP I hope his daughters weren't on board. unreal news

The NBA needs to cancel all games today. If i played with or knew Kobe i wouldn't suit up today.

Rayman70 · Jan 26, 2020

I think MAYBE foggy conditions threw him off and MAYBE,time will tell, he wasn't properly trained..I mean I dunno...but ground fog can be a beotch I hear when in flight,even for experienced pilots.

Buddy Holly actually died in an airplane crash. A number of singers died in plane crashes including Jim Croce and Patsy Cline. Members of Lynyrd Skynyrd died in a plane crash in 1977.
