Kobe Bryant’s tragic death is something NBA fans won’t ever forget. The Black Mamba lost his life in a helicopter crash as well as eight other people, including his daughter Gianna. Every day we get to know more details about this event and now the Flight Channel has a recreation of this flight.
In his final transmission, the pilot of a helicopter that crashed told air traffic control he was climbing to avoid a cloud layer, the National Transportation Safety Board said.
When air traffic control asked the pilot what he planned to do, there was no reply, NTSB board member Jennifer Homendy told reporters.
The last radar contact was around 9:45 a.m. (11:45 p.m. CT) Sunday, she said.
Radar data indicated the helicopter climbed 2,300 feet and began a left descending turn, she said.
The NTSB detailed the helicopter’s final moments before it crashed into a hillside in Calabasas, California, under foggy conditions. All this has served to recreate the video of the tragic event.
Once again, The Flight Channel does incredible work with this recreation of Kobe's last flight. https://t.co/GkhxGiEQkj via @YouTube

This is extremely hard to see and to imagine what Kobe, his daughter and the rest of the people felt in the helicopter is really hard. He’ll remain as one of the biggest legends we got to see on a basketball court, but this loss won’t be easy to forget.
