Kobe Bryant dies in helicopter crash

I read somewhere there are between 17-30 helicopter crashes yearly this century. That is way too many.

Kobe and his wife agreed to never fly in a helicopter together.

I will just stick to walking.

I actually knew a plane crash survivor. The step father of an employee lost power in a small Cessna and landed in a large vacant lot, but the plane flipped due to the uneven ground he landed on. Both legs were badly broken and he was still using a wheelchair when I met him almost a year after the accident. Even after that he felt small planes were safe as you only need a space the size of a football field to land one in. He said he would fly again after his legs got good enough to walk more than a couple steps. I think the guy was nuts, he got lucky once, why push it?

So now Kobe's widow is suing. Something about that rubs me wrong. Everyone knows helicopters are inherently dangerous. She is probably worth 1/2 billion dollars, now she is even suing the pilot's next of kin.
