Former Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant died on Sunday morning when his private helicopter crashed in Calabasas, California. The chopper reportedly caught fire and collided with a hillside, killing all nine people on board, including Bryants 13-year-old daughter Gianna. The crash ignited a brush fire at the scene, which made it difficult for emergency personnel to respond.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the cause of the crash, which is currently unknown and may take more than a year to settle definitively. Investigators will examine the pilots history and records related to its maintenance, owner, and operator. Weather reports indicate that conditions were foggy; its unclear whether the fog contributed to the crash, but the Los Angeles International Airport had delayed flights and the Los Angeles Police Department grounded its helicopters over the weekend due to poor visibility.
