    I know, the prices are crazy! Tell you what... Amtrack scared me more than all the flying I have done in my life. Did you note how close those get to other cars going the other direction as they rock back and forth? They get within inches of each other.

    My dad is now theorizing that Kobe's death is being used as a distraction because all the impeachment stuff involving Trump isn't going well.

    Sadly, there will probably be a push to take away our ability to scud-run because of the less talented who can't properly manage the risks.

    I didn’t follow a lot of that, but it seems like they were stuck doing holding patterns and waiting (for permission to land?), and ended up hitting a hillside because they were too low? It was cloudy and foggy in most of California this morning.

    You understand it correctly.

    The picture that Danke's video shows of the crash scene says it all.

    It is very Stevie Ray Vaughn-ish dogshat weather to play with around hills and rising terrain.

    Aircraft going around usually means the weather prevented them from landing.

    Your dad is right about this and Chinaplauge. Politicians love to use any distraction they can find.

    He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

    This is probably the biggest cause of the many military whopterkopter crashes.

    Dad was also saying that in a way Kobe caused his own demise by being rich and famous. Had he been a regular American citizen he'd still be alive.

    OK, never piloted a helo, but if the WX is getting bad, you can stop forward motion and do a 180. If that doesn't help, just land in an open area. Don't understand what I have read so far.

    I said essentially the same thing. Die in a private helicopter leaving from your house? Rich people problem.

    Yeah, last I heard those things can hover. Heard the debris field was fairly large, indicating some speed.

    It's certainly not a hill I'd be willing to die on.
    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

    Washington Post suspends reporter for pointing out that Kobe Bryant was not a god
    https://www.dailykos.com/stories/202...tail=emaildkre


    The Washington Post has suspended national political news reporter Felicia Sonmez following her tweets around late NBA star Kobe Bryant’s rape allegation and the backlash she received online.

    Ms. Sonmez is a political reporter for the Post. Following Bryant’s death she Tweeted the Daily Beast article linked above. Afterwards she received a barrage of approximately 10,000 hate tweets and death threats from people purporting to be fans of Kobe Bryant and/or people purporting to be “outraged” at the timing of her Tweet.

    Kobe Bryant's last NBA game was against the Utah Jazz. He left that game with 4.1 seconds left in the 4th quarter. 41 is how old Bryant was when he died. Utah Jazz scored 96 points that game. 1996 was the year Kobe was drafted. Either that's a strange coincidence or its all part of a plan.
