China Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 15 hours ago, Spaceman Spiff said: How in the absolute **** does a helicopter not have a terrain warning system? Kobe Bryant's body, 8 others recovered from helicopter that lacked key terrain warning system Flying aboard a luxury helicopter with a veteran pilot at the controls, Kobe Bryant and his seven fellow passengers should have had few worries. Their Sikorsky S-76B that would whisk them roughly 90 miles from Orange to Ventura Counties, crossing over the heart of Los Angeles, was "like the Cadillac Escalade" of choppers, recalled Kurt Deetz, a former pilot for Bryant. That model is a sleek craft with dual engines equipped with "all the bells and whistles," Deetz said. Yet it lacked a key safety feature: a terrain awareness and warning system, TAWS, a National Transportation Safety Board official said Tuesday. The NTSB had recommended it be required on large passenger-carrying choppers after a Texas crash in 2004, but that never happened.

The criminal case was dropped before the civil case was started. The criminal case was dropped because she refused to testify because her name had been released by some and she was being harassed, including things like death threats. If there had not been the harassment and things like death threats, there is really no reason to believe she wouldn't have testified and Kobe might be have gone to jail. She backed out of the trial because the panties she turned in for her rape kit had three different men's fluids inside them. She was going to lose the case to further embarrassment. Likely, anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even economy cars come with avoidance systems now days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of hard to prove to a jury with only a single witness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter that the helicopter was built nearly 30 years ago, the tech has been around since the 70s/80s.

I never said it wasn't around since then. I'm saying comparing what is in a brand new car presently compared to what is in a 30 year old helicopter is kinda pointless.

Not really, considering that flight safety standards have been well ahead of what's on the roads in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got into basketball Jordan was at the end and Kobe was just getting started. I played Kobe’s n64 basketball game. That’s just who the start of my nba viewing started with. I missed the entire 1980s and I am very confident Wayne Gretzky is the greatest hockey player of all-time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The results from the rape kit would have been known for months before she refused to testify (the incident happens in July 2003, she decides not to testify as a cooperating witness in Aug. 2004), and she could have refused to testify any time during those months, and the prosecuter could have decided to drop the case too.

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) For what it's worth, I was accused of raising my hand as if I was going to slap a woman. Complete and utter lie. I was raised stringently by my military mother, and my two older sisters - to be a gentleman, but not a pushover. This woman was mad that I called her out on her BS. It put me in to a paralysis episode when I heard the accusation, then a depression. How can I, who tries to lead other men to be gentlemen, be accused of this? Felt my reputation was annihilated. She then fessed up. "Oh maybe it was just his shadow." People who wrongly accuse should face very harsh penalties. You tried to ruin lives through selfishness. I've always imagined a time where people start to beat themselves up physically, and then accuse another person of doing it. At the very least, the accused is going to prison for a little bit, and then having to go through a ton of trials and tribulations. At the very LEAST. Stone Cold's "DTA" keeps getting realer and realer. Edited January 31, 2020 by d0ublestr0ker0ll 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Do Itch Big Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Assuming Kobe was innocent. I personally believe he was and i think the panties would haves destroyed her criminal, But if she was telling the truth, I can completely believe she was so distraught she accidentally grabbed the wrong pair of underwear.
