Kobe had been flying in choppers for a long time now and was really comfortable.

Would I say don't fly...yes? When I saw footage the first time before all this came out I was thinking it was super foggy. I would have never thought to go up.

Kobe was comfortable. Maybe he looks at the pilot and says "hey, we really need to get to this. Here's an extra $1k to get us there now vs. waiting".

We will never know which is ultimately the saddest part. People died over a crash that was probably 100% preventable.
