Information regarding the helicopter crash that took the lives of Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, and seven others continues to pour in. We already know that the chopper was said to be flying in dangerous conditions before crashing into a mountain in Calabasas, California.
Today, we have footage of what is believed to be Kobe’s helicopter circling over the eyewitness’ home in Glendale, California.
In a later tweet, the eyewitness said the following:
“I appreciate the compliment, unfortunately this flight was tragic. This pilot was performing a very aggressive circling maneuver,that’s why I went outside to Film because it was so loud.I observed 1 or 2 circles before filming & he was even lower & closer to my house,engine maxed”
According to the Today Show (via Daily Mail), the man’s house has since been confirmed as being located under the helicopter’s flight path.
Sadly, moments later in Calabasas, the helicopter went down, taking the lives of nine people, including Kobe and Gigi. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of those affected by this tragedy.
