An unexpected death shocked the world Jan. 26 in Los Angeles, Calif.
Kobe Bryant boarded a helicopter with his daughter, Gianna Bryant and seven other passengers, presumably enjoying the flight in the clouds, when the aircraft reportedly suddenly crashed onto a Calabasas, Calif., hillside, killing all nine on board.
Along with the NBA legend and his daughter, the victims were John Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, Alyssa Autobelli, Christina Mauser, Sarah Chester, Payton Chester, and Ara Zobayan. These were people likely enjoying the day and the Southern California scenery of the late dawn skies in blissful harmony.
Once the deaths were known, the public was shocked by the sad news of Bryant and his daughter's deaths, but the information had a plot hole. The identities of the other people whose lives were lost was not reported. This tragic story had a plot hole. Finally, after three days, their identities were reported.
This tragedy could not be imagined unless Nostradamus' prediction: “A humble dawn will make a flying bird touch the ground with flowers rising for them" came true.
Kobe Bryant is very well known around the world since he was introduced Nov. 3,
1996, making his NBA debut in the Los Angeles Lakers. He became a milestone as a basketball player with fans who stood by him. He was an inspiration and admired. Fans keep his popularity alive.
Anyone with a basketball standing away from a hoop will shout
“KOBE!!!” before making the shot. Some say don’t shout his name during a practice run because it will be offensive but others say, “Keep saying KOBE to keep his memory alive.” Kobe Bryant is mourned by everyone.
He left a gracious legacy.
