The rep of the pilot Ara George Zobayan, who was flying the helicopter that killed Kobe and Gianna Bryant, along with 6 other passengers, is now claiming that the people on board were responsible for the fatal crash, according to TMZ.
It’s pretty shocking … the relative of pilot Ara George Zobayan, who also died in the crash, has answered Vanessa Bryant’s lawsuit against Ara and the helicopter company, Island Express, saying, “Any injuries or damages to plaintiffs and/or their decedent were directly caused in full or in part by the negligence or fault of plaintiffs and/or their decedent, including their knowing and voluntary encounter with the risks involved, and that this negligence was a substantial factor in causing their purported damages, for which this answering defendant bears no responsibility.”
On that fateful day, LAPD grounded all of their fleet due to the conditions of fog and poor visibility. The pilot was forced to circle around for 15 minutes before he got clearance to fly to fly to the Mamba Academy.
The pilot was said to be going 184 MPH in blinding fog when he crashed into a hillside in Calabasas, California.
