Report: Kobe Bryant helicopter pilot may have been disoriented in fog
LOS ANGELES -- The pilot of the helicopter that crashed in thick fog, killing Kobe Bryant and seven other passengers, reported he was climbing when he actually was descending, federal investigators said in documents released Wednesday.
''Calculated apparent angles at this time show that the pilot could have misperceived both pitch and roll angles,'' one report stated. ''During the final descent the pilot, responding to , stated that they were 'climbing to four thousand.'''The 1,700 pages of reports do not offer a conclusion of what caused the crash but compile factual reports. A final report on the cause is due later.
Island Express reported 150 flight cancellations due to weather last year. There were 13 cancellations due to weather for 2020, all logged in the two days before Bryant's fatal flight.
