37: Loss

Listener, in this episode I will be laser focusing on both Kobe and Gigi bryant. There is a lot of information that surrounds this specific disaster. And, yes, I am well aware that there were nine fatalities. That these people all lived their own distinct lives. But, to be frank, the information present would be redundant. There are only so many things that can happen to the human body from a helicopter. With this episode of Disaster, I want to focus on the flight itself. The crash. And the immediate, devastating aftermath. Please note: I will not be covering the police taking pictures of the bodies and the subsequent court case. I feel that this gets into true crime territory, and I want to focus on the specific catastrophic disaster.
