The Latest News About The Causes Of The Helicopter Crash That Killed Kobe Bryant

JAKARTA - A new report on the helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles in January says the pilot was lost due to fog.

During the flight, pilot Ara Zobayan had asked the air traffic controller permission to increase the altitude to 4,000 feet to avoid fog. However, the helicopter fell towards a hill.

"We climbed up to four thousand (feet)," Zobayan said in a transcript of the document. Launching MARCA, Friday, June 19.

"Then what will you do when you get to that altitude?" asked the watchtower.

The conversation stopped there because there was no more answer from Zobayan.

The 1,700-page new report offers no conclusions as to why the crash. But there are indications that the pilot was disturbed by fog.

The new reports include text messages sent between the pilot and ground crew the night before the crash.

"What are the weather conditions on the 9:00 am departure?" a crew asked Zobayan.

"It should be all right," replied the pilot.

However, the US Aviation Safety Agency (NTSB) confirmed that the report was not a final decision regarding the cause of the accident.

"So there is no conclusion yet about how or what caused the accident to occur," said the NTSB.

"The analysis, findings, recommendations and possible determination of the cause related to the accident will be issued by the NTSB in its final report at a later date."

As is known, the accident that occurred on January 25 killed Bryant, his daughter Gianna, six of their friends.
