RIP Kobe Bryant

[waco]

Died this morning in a helicopter crash...sad...

 

[fiver]

heard there was a group of them that died 5? I think total.
my Boy is a huge fan, and a Lakers follower, he got a text probably within minutes of it happening.

 

[waco]

Yep. Five deaths.

 

[uncle jimbo]

Very sad indeed. Condolences to the families.

 

[waco]

Sounds like Kobe's 13 year old daughter was on board as well...

That is what the news sources are reporting now--initially, the reports stated that Mrs. Bryant and their 4 girls were not on board. News of this magnitude usually gets scrambled and misreported for the first several hours of any such event--I would be cautious about info reliability until someone other than newsies puts out official info and "Signs their name to it".

Now toll is up to 8.

 

[waco]

They are now saying there were nine on board.

 

[fiver]

9 is what I got too,,, from a tweet or something the college coach's brother put out.
there's a video of the crash out there too.
