Anyway...poor Kobe and the Bryant family. This is big news as sports obituaries go.
RIP to one of the GOAT of the game.
EDIT: unconfirmed report that one of his daughters, age 13, was also killed in the crash.
The entertainment site broke the news and reported the tragic detail that Kobe�s 13 year old daughter Gianna Maria Onore was also on board the helicopter and died in the crash. The site attributed the information about Kobe�s daughter to his reps.

The crash site is small and the fire-men are not too quick to get out their fire extinguishers.
Bryant, 41, and his daughter were expected at the Mamba Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks for a basketball game scheduled for noon Sunday. Gianna was expected to play in the game and Bryant was expected to coach, according to Lady Mavericks team director Evelyn Morales.

Just unbelievable. I think the global reaction is simply: �No fucking way. This can�t be possible.�
RIP to one of the GOAT of the game.
I'm still shocked from this. I'm not really a basketball fan, but I always thought Kobe was one hell of a good guy. Add to the fact his daughter died with him, and it's been making me tear up now for a few hours. So tragic on so many levels....
R.I.P. Legend, and R.I.P. innocent child.
The sports world lost a true great today.

Show some goddamn respect!
I normally give you a free pass, but you are denigrating and making fun of a situation where a respected sports hero, his daughter, and seven others perished in an accident!

Other people also complained/observed that the initial news coverage of the crash did not include any aerial coverage of the crash site and was instead focused on the reaction from fans and people who knew Kobe.
Once you realize that Kobe's helicopter crashed partly due to foggy and low visibility conditions then it makes sense that there were no news helicopters over the scene.
On a media related note someone noticed the vast coverage clusterfuck by the media:
