I’ve held off talking about the tragic Kobe Bryant crash. First, I didn’t want to see as thought I was capitalizing on the popularity of the event. Second, I’m always slow to judge these things until more facts come out.
Now that we know more about the accident, I thought I’d share what we know so far about the event, and what we can do to avoid making similar mistakes in our own flying.
In this podcast we will discuss:

* My initial reaction and thoughts
* The details after several days
* New details on the accident itself
* What we know about the pilot, the helicopter and the operator
* What can we learn?
* What can we DO?

I think you’ll find a lot of enlightening thoughts in this podcast, and gain some closure for this event. Just remember — accident reports and the regulations are written in blood. And we should be so careful not to repeat these costly accidents.
