Apologies that this is off topic, but the reporter that messed up on air earlier issued an apology and it seems legit. Thought people in this thread might be interested in seeing it just because the other stuff was already in here as well. (I'll not post about that stuff in here after this post.)

I think the part that hits me the hardest is the father aspect. His new baby will never know him and his wife is missing her spouse. The thought just wrecks me as a father/husband. And I can't even begin to understand what they are feeling. I really wish an ordinary joe like me could offer them some type of help.

Damn Lebron and the rest of the Lakers found out on the plane ride home. No wonder we didn't hear from them yet.

Death is always tragic but that two fathers died together with their kids is just heartbreaking

An absolute tragedy compounded by the loss of four more lives, two of which were only beginning. Just unbelievably sad.

Some of you in this thread need to log off for a minute and go take a good look in the mirror. Embarrassing.

This was the other person that died:

Orange Coast College baseball coach John Altobelli dies in helicopter crash with Kobe Bryant

I wonder if he was related to former MLB manager Joe Altobelli.

I apologize if this comes off as insensitive in any way as I'm not at all trying to downplay anyone's death in this matter, but part of me is so especially incredibly sad for this person as well as (apparently?) their child that died in this crash, because they're going to be completely overshadowed by Kobe and his daughter. This person's family is fucking devestated right now and the entire world weeping for Kobe is probably really fucking them up more.

Of course it's natural that things will go like that, not trying to in any way to say people are going about it wrong, but just a sad observation.
I mean its just how these things go. If this poor man and his child died without Kobe it would just be a sad local story where friends and family mourn their passing. The people who know and love them will still mourn them. Their grief isn't really being overshadowed but Kobe was just an oversized part of culture so of course more people will be heartbroken.

Tough time for everyone.
