Scary ass re-enactment of the flight.
The doomed helicopter carrying Kobe Bryant that crashed in a heap of molten metal last month, killing nine people, showed no signs of “catastrophic” engine failure, federal officials sa…

New NTSB report yesterday says there was no sign of engine failure based on gathered debris and no report of an engine stall.
Now, the only reasonable reasoning left to still label this tragedy an accident is the pilot was disoriented, but report confirms the helicopter actually "increased" speed... "traveling forward and descending... starting to roll on its left." This pilot was very experienced, even in bad weather and low visibility, and he was use to this flight many times surely knowing if he took a left off the 101 hwy it was toward the hills... why would he suddenly climb and then decend with increased speed, "Rising more than 750 ft (875ft) in about 30 seconds and (slowed to 125mph according to the Times) began a left descending turn" according to NTSB.
No black box, no cockpit recorder, no 2nd pilot, no-terrain alert system, no response back to the air traffic control tower after pilot said he was rising to 4000 ft. (Now, we learn with this new report, ironically, they actually decended at 4000 feet per min.)
In very bad weather and heavy fog I've seen idiots still speed in vehicles... but to go up high very fast (all of a sudden) and increase speed going down (all of a sudden) is very strange if you are NOT intending on killing yourself and everyone on board.
I mean helicopters technically can stop and hover over a flat roof house and land. Even if I'm a novice pilot, I'm not going to pick up speed if I can't see.
I'm not calling it a full out conspiracy, but I would like more information on this pilot who doesn't seem to have a wife or kids.
Reminds me alot of the Ron Brown crash... no cockpit recorders, no message to air tower before crash. Outdated safety instruments for a plane. Supposedly bad weather. Official claim pilot error due to weather.
