Vanessa Bryant can get names of deputies who shared graphic photos of crash site, judge rules

A federal judge ruled Monday that Vanessa Bryant can obtain the names of four Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies who her lawyers contend in a lawsuit shared "unauthorized" graphic photos of the scene of the helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant and eight others, CBS Los Angeles reports, citing the Los Angeles Times. U.S. District Judge John F. Walter rejected the effort of L.A. County lawyers to keep the deputies' names under seal in the suit against the four, according to the newspaper. The county's lawyers argued that releasing the deputies' names could make them the target of hackers. The ruling means Bryant's lawyers can add the deputies' names — as well as details from the internal affairs investigation into their conduct — to an amended complaint in the suit against the county and the sheriff's department, the Times says. Local court rules give the county four days to appeal the ruling, according to the Times.

NTSB report: Pilot felt pressure to fly Kobe Bryant to game

“Here is a case where a pilot who is well regarded apparently got into a very bad situation,” Sumwalt said. AdThere were 184 aircraft crashes between 2010-2019 involving spatial disorientation, including 20 fatal helicopter crashes, the NTSB said. Vanessa Bryant has sued Island Express Helicopters Inc., which operated the aircraft, and its owner, Island Express Holding Corp. She said Zobayan was not properly trained or supervised and should have aborted the flight. Island Express Helicopters Inc. denied responsibility and said the crash was “an act of God” that it could not control. Lawyers for Berge Zobayan and Island Express declined to comment on the NTSB findings.

Agency says pilot in Kobe Bryant crash was likely disoriented after flying through clouds

LOS ANGELES -- Investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board say the helicopter crash that took the lives of basketball icon Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and seven others was likely caused after the pilot became disoriented shortly before the crash. According to the Associated Press, the NTSB determined the pilot, Ara Zobayan, flew through the clouds in an apparent violation of federal standards. She and relatives of the other victims have also placed blame on the companies that owned and operated the helicopter, according to the AP. Federal lawmakers have already introduced the Kobe Bryant and Gianna Bryant Helicopter Safety Act which would require those systems for any helicopter carrying more than six people. The helicopter Bryant and the others were traveling in did not have that system on board.

US officials: Pilot error caused Kobe Bryant chopper crash

Officials believe Zobayan may have also felt “continuation bias,” an unconscious tendency among pilots to stick with the original plan despite changing conditions. The crash led to widespread public mourning for the retired basketball star and several lawsuits, and prompted state and federal legislation. But NTSB investigator-in-charge Bill English said the system, which was not on the helicopter, would probably not have prevented the crash. Federal lawmakers have sponsored the Kobe Bryant and Gianna Bryant Helicopter Safety Act to mandate the warning systems on all helicopters carrying six or more passengers. Island Express Helicopters Inc. denied responsibility and said the crash was “an act of God” that it could not control.

Feds to name likely cause of Kobe Bryant helicopter crash

Terrill, file)LOS ANGELES – In the year since the helicopter carrying Kobe Bryant crashed into a hillside on a foggy morning, killing all nine aboard, there’s been plenty of finger-pointing over the cause of the tragedy. AdFederal lawmakers have sponsored the Kobe Bryant and Gianna Bryant Helicopter Safety Act to mandate the devices on all helicopters carrying six or more passengers. Zobayan’s brother said Kobe Bryant knew the risks of flying in a helicopter and his survivors aren’t entitled to damages from the pilot’s estate. Vanessa Bryant also sued the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, accusing deputies of sharing unauthorized photos of the crash site.
