Vanessa Bryant Honors Kobe Bryant On Family's First Father's Day Without Him
"I strongly urge that the United States Congress pass a federal law that would improve the safety of helicopters operating in this country," Vanessa said Thursday in a statement, per. "I believe there is a chance that Kobe and Gianna would still be alive today if their helicopter had been equipped with the safety equipment required by this pending federal legislation."
According to outlet, the "Kobe Bryant and Gianna Bryant Helicopter Safety Act" would require helicopters carrying six or more people to be "equipped with a Terrain Awareness and Warning System, a flight data recorder and a cockpit voice recorder." "As passengers traveling on aircrafts we assume that proper safety measures are in order to prevent accidents from happening before we fly," Vanessa's statement continued. "It's unfortunate that this is not the case and aircraft companies must do their part to protect lives."
"Having Kobe's and Gianna's names associated with this federal law that has the potential to save countless lives would be a fitting tribute to their memory," she expressed in a final message.
