I bet Kobe's last words were "I love you" to his daughter....RIP ro all 9 people who lost their lives.

It’s scary to just see it disappear if the radar

Who's here when it's been a whole year?

[janyceboschman]

Three young girls died in crash, so sweet so innocent

[centralcal]

They should have canceled or delayed the game. The pilot took a risk and for what!

[torguy]

In all due respect, I will NEVER understand how anyone would want to fly when there's bad weather, especially fog, unless there's no choice which is never the case really.

Just take a car and be a lot safer if you have to be somewhere in bad weather, they would still be alive today.

I can't imagine how much fear they were in and how hard they were hugging eachother and saying goodbye to the world RIP GIGI AND KOBE AND ALL THE OTHERS ON THE PLANE

[ChubbiBun]

I feel sadness for all families involved.
Coming here for Kobes final moments has left me feeling ashamed. That's not what we need to remember him by.
RIP Kobe, Gianna, Payton, Sarah, Christina, Alyssa, John, Keri, and Ara.

Big life lesson here is to never ever fly in dense fog conditions to where you cant see the ground or to your sides. It’s not worth your life and the pain to the people you leave behind.

I love how all these people only care that Kobe died and not about the other people. Yes Kobe is famous but we shouldn't just be focusing on him because of how known he is. He wasn't the only one that died in the helicopter.

*It’s been 2 years but it felt like yesterday…*

[wesleyrodgers]

Takes a LOT to be an air traffic controller.

He wasn’t replying to the tower while falling

[Ari-jmxx]

Wow, when it disappeared from radar. Powerful image.

[adfc]

The title is about Kobe Bryant’s last words, not the thing they showed

[koolz]

THERE WERE NO LAST WORDS HIT THE MOUNTAIN AND NEVER SEEN IT COMING HOW PEOPLE JUST ASSUME BECAUSE SOME ONE IS A PILOT THAT THEY ARE WELL QUALIFIED AND KNOWS WHAT IS GOING

[mirandagaviria]

all the comments saying “it was preventable” or “he shouldn’t have been flying” what’s done is done and he probably underestimated how bad it was gonna be.
