in a helicopter crash.
Is he the one who 'hung around' with the Rocket Man?

Rocket Man= Kim Jong Un

[Spicerack]

No. I think it was Dennis Rodman.

RIP Kobe Bryant.

And yes, it was Rodman who was/is chummy with both Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un (not Elton John who I thought you meant at first).

[Spicerack]

Quite spooky.

There are many (throw away) prophecies in the world. Some have to coincidentally be proved.

I thought you meant EJ as well.
I don’t know of Kobe Bryant except that he’s a basketball player, but it’s very sad he’s died at 41.

[Spicerack]

Probably.

His 13 year old daughter was also on the helicopter. So sad.

[Mozz71]

So sad, especially given that his daughter (and 7 others I believe) also perished. RIP.

[Mamyalynne]

Yes, 9 Souls on board, so very sad.

[Lie-in King]

Very sad for all the families involved. RIP.

Red Helicopters flying across Malibu bay since 9.30am today - Saturday as Kobe crashed in mountains behind our beach house. Americans devastated & sombre. Beach empty, no bbqs or music....its eerie

Oh my, this has just gotten a lot more tragic if what I heard on the radio is right. Apparently Kobe was taking his daughter and a group of her friends to a game. It sounds very much as if a majority of the victims are kids.

Very tragic.

Alas I've never heard of him. That is hardly surprising. I watched basketball a couple of times many years ago. Both matches finished about 104-102 if I recall. It seemed to me the team scoring first would always win as "goals" or whatever they call them were scored with regular monotony as the players moved from end to end and there was rarely more than a couple of points between the teams. A tedious game where it seems someone of Mr Bryant's height seemingly sees him among the midgets.

I could not believe the amount of time the BBC devoted to the tragedy last night. It would be interesting to learn how many people in the UK had heard of Mr Bryant. But nonetheless a tragic incident.

a tragedy, but the coverage has been going on all morning..

[Mozz71]

I have to agree with you there NJ, the amount of coverage does seem disproportionate to the general interest outside the USA. Maybe it was a slow news day.

[TheDevil]

I'd never heard of him.
