I was thinking that too, but I'm not sure if the angle just doesn't show the canyon.

What's the question about the area? I have a house in Camarillo (it neighbors Thousand Oaks and Calabasas)

I just got off a plane and heard the news. Shocking. I can’t remember a superstar like this passing unexpectedly. I hate the NBA because I am a Knicks fan. That said this is a shocker and his loss is huge. Pray for his family and the families of the others lost.

Just sad.

You know, I forgot Aliyah died in a plane crash.

Over weight issues I think is what happened there.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

How many celebrities have been lost in private aircraft crashes (mostly airplanes)? Buddy Holly, Jim Croce, Ronnie Van Zandt, John Kennedy, Davey Allison, John Denver, Steve Fossette et al. Sad that they were able to have the freedom to bypass the hassles of commercial flying yet it resulted in their deaths.

Life's not fair, to be sure....

Also Patsy Cline, Ricky Nelson.

Sean Taylor was the last one I think. I mean he wasn’t Kobe freaking Bryant of his sport but he was a star.

JFK Jr.

He was my hero. Damn it. RIP Kobe! I am crying and my kids don't understand why, He was my hero

 

[kskboys]

Raptors ran out the 24 second clock in his honor.

Spurs did the same

Classy

Just watched it. Can't stop crying.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

It’s been a lengthy list including Patsy Cline, Audie Murphy, Otis Redding, Rocky Marciano and Rick Nelson.

And Thurman Munson.

I am predicting a Laker vs 76ers NBA finals. Tribute to Kobe Bryant

As a 76ers fan, I'd enjoy that.

Davey Allison was killed in a helicopter crash.

I am struggling with this one hard... I’ve never had a famous persons death just tear me up inside. Chester Bennington was probably the closest since his cousin is a good friend of mine, but this Kobe one is just eating me up. And Gigi man? So horrible, like why?

its tearing me up and I couldn’t stand Kobe as a basketball player....absolutely loathe the Lakers and he was their best guy

but darnit even if you couldn’t stand Kobe the way he went about business the work ethic the mamba mentality to rip a mans heart out and do the electric slide on it was something to be desired

when he retired i was like ohhh pheww now i can go back and really appreciate the games he played and not be angry

im really gonna miss him

RIP Kobe Bryant and my condolences to his family.

Still can't quite wrap my head around this news. We truly live in a day to day world. Enjoy life, your loved ones, and the things you enjoy as much as you can every single moment. That's all I can think of right now.

[DUO_CORE]

Can't remember where I saw this video first, but it was one of the first things that came to mind right after I heard the news:

I wonder if she forgets some facts or were things different back then? Kobe was drafted by the Hornets out of high school.

 

[Corso]

I kissed my sleeping wife gently on her forehead, told her I loved her and no matter where we are, we're together.
Always.

He hasn't left. He will always be with his family and those that loved him.

 

[J817]

I’m not trying to degrade the moment right now, but could you imagine if this happened Super Bowl Sunday? Because I couldn’t. I had to change the channel from anything sports cause my mind is racing with this news.

 

[JayFord]

This for me all the way.
