The representative of the pilot who was flying the helicopter that killed Kobe and Gianna Bryant, along with 6 other passengers, claims the people on board were responsible for the fatal crash.

. The pilot had to circle around the Griffith Park area for 15 minutes before being cleared to fly to the Mamba Academy up north.

Thedoesn't address how the passengers might have been negligent or assumed a risk. As for negligence ... presumably, they were just sitting in their seats. As for assuming a risk ... it's unclear what risk falls on passengers of an aircraft when the pilot is in control.

Whoever this lawyer is... I hope you step on a fuckin Lego barefoot

This is crazy. How can he blame the passengers?

2020 did it

Kobe demanded he be flown despite knowing weather... sorry he died but he forced the issue! Horrible accident and tragedy for all involved not just Bryant family. RIP

Uh ohh.... let see how this plays out

Stop doing things just cause it’s money talking

Before we know it someone will probably blame it Obama

Just dumb tactical response by the Defendants in the lawsuit. The pilot has the final say whether he should or shouldn’t fly regardless of whether a celebrity wants to or not. Any pilot will tell you that.

Hahaha trying to avoid the lawsuit. The best defence is a good offence

Vanessa set this up

Wow slow day tmz

These flight operators are licensed and trained to fly. They are educated when it is and isn’t safe to fly. It is THE PILOTS responsibility to call the shots of his aircraft, not his passengers....

Lets be real...it was kobes fault.....to foggy to fly...didnt wanna miss or be late for the tournament...didnt want to get stuck in traffic...we all think we are invincible till we die. Sucks...

Who does that? 😐

How the fuck would he know? He wasn’t in the helicopter?

What a c.....

Maybe you should blame Trump

they wernt driving

They’ve learned well from your President.

yall add free clout

wtf

Unless they were screaming in your ear or banging pots and pans I don’t see how it’s there fault

What? Is this a real report Oh don’t play. Don’t play!!!!! I hope this is a hoax or something. Just can’t be true

Atp...I-...
