    That silence after crushing metal sound was eerie as fuck. Man I hope none of the passengers were aware of the danger when the aircraft was turning and descending.

    Welp that was the gayest thing I’ve ever exed out of. NTTAWWT.

    Damn it I clicked on that stupid link at work. Waiting for HR to come pick me up with a card board box any second now. WTF.

    And it was yesterday lol

    A dive would only make sense if there was a mechanical failure.

    On that note, congratulations on being a mind reader. Since he seriously needs the attention and money right now. Luka and his billions aren’t enough. Eye roll.

    Jives with what ESPN is saying but they could just be reading the same graph I guess. "Shortly after 9:40 a.m., the helicopter turned again, toward the southeast, and climbed to more than 2,000 feet above sea level. It then descended and crashed into the hillside at about 1,400 feet, according to data from Flightradar24. When it struck the ground, the helicopter was flying at about 160 knots (184 mph) and descending at a rate of more than 4,000 feet per minute (45 mph), the Flightradar24 data showed." https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/28572984/helicopter-carrying-kobe-bryant-made-climbing-turn-rapid-dive EDIT: duh they say it in the quote "the FLightradar24 data showed"

    It's capacity is 12 passengers so I don't see that as extreme. Now I don't know depending on the DA maybe it was but I haven't heard anyone mentioning that they might have simply not had enough power.

    I wonder if pilots are taught to try to turn right or left instead of pull up to go over an obstacle if they are in a situation where they are quickly approaching a mountain side. It seem like the physics would be better to keep your momentum going in a sharp turn and avoid stalling out or losing lift capability.

    Who is anyone to judge how Mark Cuban memorializes Kobe? It's his team. It's really weird how even in a great sign of respect people still take issue.

    On one hand it seems shitty to ask players to play when they might want to attend his funeral (if its open for them to attend which I imagine it might be) if there are conflicts. On the other hand, it becomes a slippery slope. How important of a player has to die for them to cancel games? They can't do this for all players. I won't be upset either way. Either way people will bitch and moan about it and others will love it.

    Na not really. There is no "normal". But i'm certainly not racist and homophobic.

    Good question. I haven't done that with a lot of people who don't have similar views as me. I think I've justified it as not wanting to fall into group think and only have friends who have similar beliefs to me on Facebook. It's sort of refreshing to see the different view points about politics and other stuff on my Facebook feed even though most of the time it just pisses me off. I should probably remove the guy.. he's for sure a racist. It just baffles me that someone so educated with engineering degrees, trust from the FAA, pilot, smarts etc could have such a twisted view of the world. Anyway enough about him... he's old so he'll die one of these days along with his racist views and his daughter just went to college so she's probably off getting boned by other dudes.

    A former coworker of mine posted this on Facebook: "Of the 9 people now reported on the aircraft, how many did not rape a girl in a Colorado hotel room, then publically smear her and pay her off to drop the charges? Or did we all forget about that?" He's always posting sensationalist shit or far right religious views that are borderline racist and I want to reply but I don't want to stoop to his level. I wanted to reply "Well he died in a fiery helicopter crash today knowing his daughter was going to die as well so I'm guessing you're content that he got what was coming to him right?"

    Na he was close to Kobe. Kobe was close to signing with the Mavs at one point but it didn't happen.

    I was trying to put myself in his wife's shoes wondering what she would think about basketball after all of this. It gave them everything (Kobe's success) and ironically it took it all away in the end (accident on the way to a game).

    Wouldn't ground effect only have helped him hover with less required power? Or are you thinking possibly getting into some kind of vortex ring state / settling with power?
  21. dad
    We'll see what the NTSB report says before we fully settle on blaming the pilot. It's possible that he could have experienced mechanical failure at low altitude preventing him from being able to auto rotate somewhere safely.

    It's hilarious that you guys remembered he made that steak this long and brought it up again lol. It's not like it was "that" chili from the shaggy thread levels.

    I guess after the last decade 10-2-1 and 8-5 sound decent.
  24. dad
    Ah didn’t know that. Last time I use that word. Don’t want to be associated with sheep fuckers.
  25. dad
    Looks like there were some decent years there in 95 and 96 but yeah not 05 - 10 success of course
