(Washington, DC) — Investigators looking into the helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant say the pilot should never have flown into the clouds in the first place. Michael Graham of the National Transportation Safety Board says by doing so, pilot Ara Zobayan lost sight of any spatial reference and that’s why he got disoriented. The findings of their report show by continuing his flight path into heavy clouds, he didn’t follow his training. And there’s a history of pilots dying for the same reason. The Los Angeles Lakers star and others on board were killed on January 26th of last year when the helicopter crashed in the Calabasas hills.
