personally, but he still feels a "strange connection" to the NBA legend who died tragically in a helicopter crash on Sunday.
Colbert took careful time to read the names of each of the victims' families to honor them equally to Bryant, as the most public figure of this crash that took nine lives, including Kobe's 13-year-old daughter Gianna. For him, his family was able to get some closure, as well as some sense that their loss affected change in the world. Thanks to the black box recording of the final moments of that flight on September 11, 1974, the airline industry enacted the sterile cockpit rule in an effort to ensure that no flight would go down like that again.
He said that this kind of loss reminds us that "life is just a vapor." He went on to clarify, "We’re here and even the mighty among us, those that seem like they’ll live forever, the immortal ones can be gone, just like that. With all the greatness that he left in the world, it seemed like he had so much more to go.
TooFab Totally agree! Helicopters SHOULD have black boxes also...
TooFab Who ever gave them the ok to fly in those conditions is responsible, lapd and sheriff all grounded their helicopters that day nobody should've been in the air until it was ok to do so.
TooFab Colbert! GodBless

TooFab How pissed would everyone be if we found out that the government has ufo technology and we could of been using it this whole time to transport people with way less risk?

TooFab SMART HAPPY KETO COFFEE W NOOTROPICS!
