AVIATION IS UNFORGIVING

And Gravity Is A Nasty Bitch

by Bob Walsh

Kobe Bryant, 41, found out the hard way what comes next the hard way yesterday morning when a helicopter carrying him and five others crashed in L.A. There were no survivors. Bryant was, I understand, a genuinely decent guy (kind of unusual in a rich, famous jock) and we have few enough of them in the world so his death, while maybe not tragic, is certainly a net loss in the balance of things. I am confident the NTSB will be all over this like olfactory offense on excrement and they will likely figure out what went wrong.

Damn shame all around.

Apologies for the redundancy in the first sentence.
