Kobe was a regular at El Camino Real Mexican restaurant in Fullerton, CA. His wife Vanessa was originally from Fullerton
before her family moved to Huntington Beach. I'm told when Kobe went in to pick up to go orders he would wait in line
even though they wanted to give him VIP service. He said he was just another customer and waited in line.

Orange Coast College Baseball Coach John Altobelli

Joe Altobelli is a former manager in MLB.
Three seasons with the Giants and Orioles and one season with the Cubbies (1991).
I think it's him Valuist.
He grew up living out those same qualities. Altobelli was the sixth of eight siblings in a baseball loving family. His mom watched the Cubs on WGN religiously, and his dad played professionally.

Any chance the helicopter could have survived an ocean landing?
And what about parachutes to abort the flight?
Not sure about the physics or logistics to either question.
it flew into the ground because there was no visibility.184 mph is insane. Hope there is a black box. No pilot even fighting would want to try an emergency landing at that rate of speed. Some earwitnesses said the copter sounded funny. Can't believe no radio contact.
Could very well be. No pilot would want that speed at a land. JFK had no idea where the waterline was because of eyesight and visibility. Stevie Ray Vaughn copter dude drove into a mountain he couldn't see.it flew into the ground because there was no visibility.

The fog was severe enough Sunday morning that the Los Angeles Police Department’s Air Support Division grounded its helicopters and didn’t fly until later in the afternoon, department spokesman Josh Rubenstein said.
“The weather situation did not meet our minimum standards for flying,” Rubenstein said. The fog “was enough that we were not flying.” LAPD’s flight minimums are 2 miles of visibility and an 800-foot cloud ceiling, he said.

Looks like if the Copter landed in the water she would not have drown

I've actually always wondered why all helicopters and small planes dont have parachutes for each passenger in them. Or have each passenger wear one while flying, the same as they wear a lifejacket on a boat.Any chance the helicopter could have survived an ocean landing?

Any issues arise, just jump, pull the cord, and descend to safety.
Don't want to make light of the loss and the tragedy, but maybe this will get people to start asking why are there are kids playing these games at great distances and just questioning why travel sports are so important these days for kids. Why are we seeing Lebrons kid playing all over the place on TV? What is wrong with keeping kids in place until it's time to be adults and get into this rigorous world of sports to make someone else a dollar? The idea that all these people were getting on a helicopter and making a hurried trip in bad conditions for young kids playing basketball just doesn't sit well with me and I sure hope its a situation that gets a deeper discussion when the time is right.
