I was about to comment that same fact. Very appreciative of the vivid description and how aware he was. Also would like to note that he directed the emergency personnel towards the wreck that’s how conscious he was of the whole tragedy...
I once witnessed a fatal car crash at 1am, and I was super shaken up. I got interviewed and said "we heard the smell" of the crash. So yeah I agree with you lmao
we were all fearfully and wonderfully made it's time for the people to know the Creator. The people can be eyewitnesses of Jesus Christ loved who flew so high in the sky he still hasn't come back down. Blessed are those who believe and have not seen Jesus has beautiful plans for you he loves you life is short Jesus is forever
Why didn't he rush to the crash site? He was only a short distance away. Hmmm and he just so happens to be a former TWA employee? This witness is a corporate pawn. Kobe was set up. The pilot had a suicide mission and intentionally flew that chopper into dense fog when there was no fog 4 miles away and he could have taken a different route. 185mph at impact? He crashed that heli on purpose.
Zenigundam you have no idea how hard it was to get there and how stupid and dangerous it is for him to just rush over by himself and the firefighters had to literally hike to the crash site also he was driving the helicopter in circles and trying to get lower just so he could see, i obviously didn’t personally know the pilot but he wouldn’t be that cold hearted and that stupid to crash on purpose so don’t be an idiot and make up a theory like this if you know nothing about it
This gentleman has a keen sense . He knows what he saw. The helicopter was not malfunctioning. This accident was pilot error. This flight should have been cancelled due to unfavorable weather.
Yes...because that bird was not certified to fly in that weather, according to NTSB. The pilot was certified to fly IFR but the helicopter lacked the required equipment. This is negligence. KObe may have also known, but I doubt it.

"I was working on the floor below, the air pressure was slightly below normal for a September afternoon. Heard first a zipper and then the slight crumbling of some paper, probably standard thickness, maybe slightly thinner. Because it had just rained the night before, the air pressure was raised and the sound reflected well through the open window in my south east direction. A second crumbling of paper of a different thickness alerted me that there was probably a multi-paged document involved. Since I saw the principal carry 40 tests in a small briefcase I figured the actual test could not have been multi-paged, and some other document must be involved. I immediately warned the test coordinator, of course, as that had to mean cheating was afoot."
One word here - trustworthy. I imagine he's one of those few rare people in life that doesn't bullshit under any given circumstance. That plus an analytical brain, engineering experience and an impressive ability to articulate makes him my favourite person of 2020 so far.
I had to call 911 a month ago because I saw an accident where a pedestrian died. I knew she died as soon as I saw it happened and I told the operator so, he kept asking questions trying to figure out where it happened and all I could tell them was that they needed to send someone now
@@tatyanamelnikoff9578 Its quite suspicious. Its almost as if the pilot was ordered to crash the helicopter. I mean it was on the day of yhe Grammys 2020 so they usually like celeb sacrifice. God knows
I've never heard a more concise witness testimony. He seemed to have good knowledge of helicopters, weather patterns, geography, flight dynamics and all things acoustic. And he could relay all this information in a clear way without a break in speech.
This may be the greatest witness who "didn't see much" in the history of television interviews. Strike that. Greatest witness interview ever, without qualification.
Everything probably happened instantly. They were in the clouds and then hit. Probably death was instantaneous and they did not even understand what had happened.
Omg one year later the investigators concluded that the pilot was disoriented. This guy called it minutes after it happened. He literally did a years worth of work intuitively in minutes.
To be fair; the NTSB takes forever because they need to look at EVERY POSSIBLE FACTOR that contributes to an accident. As a pilot there are so many things that can contribute to an accident, whether it be not following checklists, proper preflight inspection, equipment for flight list, etc. The guy was spot on though! but the NTSB must be absolutely sure!
@@-SUM1- It wasn't obvious from the start, he may have lost engine power, lost hydraulics, hit a bird.. lots of things to make him dip low enough to hit that hill. They have to investigate it first
Sarah Riedel haha I’m willing to bet 100%. My uncle is a pilot, both professionally and casually, and he’s got all kinds of stuff like that from the 80’s and 90’s.
@MTLYYC It used to be a major airline. In fact it was THE airline back in the day. If you flew on a commercial airplane back in 60's , 70's or 80's it was probably TWA
Probably a good thing, it’s fresh in his mind. Investigators can probably use this video to get a good timeline of exactly what happened before the crash.
Because he’s a freemason. Kobe was passed in scoring against the 76ers (7 + 6 = 13) Kobe died on the 26th. 13 + 13 = 26 Kobe was the 13th pick. Kobe’s daughter was 13. A show named Chamberlain Heights predited his death. 13 was Wilt Chamberlain’s number, Wilt was also the youngest MVP to die before Kobe and he also played for the 76ers.
“I didn’t see much.” You saw and understood a lot. Thanks. A little bit of understanding to this tragedy. Thank you extra tv, the interviewer and interviewee
Trips It’s funny how some foreigners think so bad about Americans, yet they are typing on an American website used by millions that was created by “dumb americans”
@Trips and please, kind stranger, describe to us in a twenty five slide Powerpoint presentation as to why you think that this man lacks articulation, when he pinpoints every detail he witnessed without having to think twice about it.
He is speaking like a pilot. He even said it is hard to control a helicopter in a low speed like that one was going, micro climates; no rotor wash, etc. he may be a sound engineer now but he may have done something in aviation at some point- very detailed narrative
Most tragic events you don't have one. But a lot of people are interested or worked in aviation, especially somewhere like that. Let's say maybe 1% of people in such areas have the know-how to report like this. If there are a few within earshot for each disaster like this, eventually a major disaster will have a witness like this. It's hardly fantasy.
I already explained it yesterday. Helicopter enters dense fog, pilot hits a ridge, aircraft becomes uncontrollable and slams into the side of the mountain 2 seconds later at 180mph, the impact causes the helicopter to disintegrate, everybody dies. There were no Disney moments of Kobe holding onto Gigi and telling her he loved her and all that. Smh lol
D. A. Although i never saw it or heard the explosion , i swear it was flying at 100 ft @ 3mph....although official NTBS report states 185 mph impact at 1400ft. Nice try Einstein.
For someone who didn't technically "see the helicopter" this is the greatest witness testimony in the history of the world. Kobe was a true Renaissance Man.
@Vinny Ocean - A man that rapes a woman is not embodied in the characterization of a "Renaissance Man". This offensive part of his life has either escaped your memory, or you are intentionally marginalizing rape. Whatever it is, this man who happened to play basketball, & like so many with such transgressions does not warrant a pedestal, so instead, just hope that his family finds peace.
@@bestillandknow9127 Kobe was one of the greatest basketball players to ever exist and on top of that was an amazing father and man who deserves respect. He was never found guilty of raping that woman... to call him a rapist is a shameful lie.
This has to be the best witness description of an aircraft accident that I have ever heard. On a scale of 1 to 10 - this witness gets an 11(he's a sound engineer - he'll get that).
Kobe trusted his pilot in a dependable helicopter, paul Walker trusted a racecar driver in a Porsche, white star trusted a seasoned captain on his last voyage, dale Earnhardt trusted his abilities on the last lap on the last turn of the race.........trust nothing..live every day as if it were your last because one day it will be. Love one another
@Larry Smith not much of a fire that i saw in the photos...would think it would've left everything scorched. Then again watching helicopters crash on line the blades most often dont just stop suddenly. Most show that the blades cause the chopper to be thrown around awhile unless they got jammed or broken off completely. This guy says they were going slow and low officially they're saying it fell at 5k ft a sec at 180mph. The police weren't even allowed to fly that day so how did this go on at all? More questions and nonsense than any information.
Kobe probably had no idea his helicopter was not certified to fly in that type of weather. The pilot ignore regulations. The NTSB has stated the helicopter was not certified to fly in that type of weather. Kobe, I can only assume was unaware of this. His dumb-ass pilot got them all killed.
@@markcmpbl2101 yea but at least you'll most likely live longer besides illness issues,you cannot trust people more than ever, people are different these days!
I'll give this man respect where it is due. This is why you need to pay attention to your surroundings. He did that. He didn't do anything that any of us can't do. He knew something was wrong, and he paid attention to his surroundings. He didn't throw in drama to the situation. Simply provided facts the best he could.
GAU-8 he’s also a sound engineer and is wearing a TWA hat, so at least a fan of aviation - he’s using a lot of aviation verbiage, just very lucky he happened to be there. Anyone else would have said, I saw the helicopter then it was gone, then I heard a crash.
@@Toasty_-jx6zk I totally disagree. He knows it's hard to hover a heli, and that's correct, he knows about cloud ceilings, he knows about turbine engines (versus, say, a piston-engined heli like R22 / R44), he knows the Sikorsky was a twin turbine, he knows about rotor-wash, he is detailed, and eloquent and precise, and his father was a pilot, so it's hardly surprising that he is knowledgeable about aviation and it's false of YOU to pretend otherwise. Ps. I also flew in the 90s, got my pilot's license.
This guy’s the real life Daredevil, using echolocation to describe the event even though he didn’t see it. It’s like I was seeing the event unfold in real time when he was describing it. RIP Kobe and Gigi.
@Apache NovemberReign shut up, he was taking his daughter to her basketball game and the halicopter crashed. How is any of that due to his selfishness?
The ignorant populace who knows "shit" about aviation is easily fooled. Hire a "crisis actor" wearing a defunct airline hat, and make him use some pseudo-jargon to impress, and voilà! Media always win.
Since radar shows the helicopter was going 160+ mph in a steep dive from 2000 ft altitude right there I'm not quite so sure of his credibility. The TWA hat is a nice touch though.
AZROW MIX The aircraft was 29 years old. In fact, the pilot had to rely on his eye sight to fly rather than use the altitude/speed gauge (which was a big reason why he ended up crashing). So it’s safe to say the “radar” was highly inaccurate and should not be relied upon.
This man is a great human being. He did not pull out his phone to take pictures,or record a video. The man pulled out his phone and called 911. Had he not done that, the first responders would not have been able to get there so quickly. This man did the right thing. God bless him, for who he is. Based on what he's saying, that pilot did all he could for the helicopter to go down, but he could not prevent it. They did not suffer like most of us thought they did. May all of them who perished, rest in heaven.
@@ladyindaroom He's nor rude, ignorant, sure, but not rude. Technically he is right, but saying black lives matter on a video like this is like standing up at a funeral and yelling "slavery is wrong"
He was a great witness, you could tell he knew exactly what he was talking about. If there was any chance they would have somehow survived the impact, I believe this man could have saved their lives.
I'm starting to wonder if Kobe was murdered. ESPN posted that Kobe had "passed the torch" to LeBron yesterday and then the next day he was gone. This is like when Giuliani and Bush had planes loaded with explosives take down the World Trade Center to justify getting their hands on heavy oil money in the Middle East.
@TheBestFighter The facts don't add up. Kobe is a millionaire and his helicopter doesn't have a ground proximity warning system? The chopper impacts the ground at 180mph? There was no fog 3 miles away in all directions? This makes it seem like a kamikaze pilot intentionally flew to that place to take Kobe out.
@@RobbieStacks90 there were no planes that ever hit the towers you moron. An aluminum body isnt capable of penetrating double reinforced steel. Something else was used all together to bring the whole thing down at the speed of gravity. Please stop being an idiot. Thank you
Zenigundam nah man I just think that it was natural cause I think the helicopter had a problem and they didn’t know about it and it went downhill from their
Not really, a real witness would have rushed to the crash site. I stick to my theory that Kobe was murdered by a suicide pilot. 180mph? Flying right through a route with dense fog when there's no fog 4 miles away? And now this old man, who just so happens to be a former TWA employee, also just so happens to be a couple hundred feet away when it happens? Nah... Somebody did Kobe dirty. Maybe LeBron because he was reflecting on his memories of Kobe the day before this happened, that's too suspicious.
He’s a freemason, not a witness. It was scripted. The number 13 is being worn by the freemasons that sacrificed this brother. Passed in scoring against the 76ers (7 + 6 = 13) Kobe died on the 26th. 13 + 13 = 26 Kobe was the 13th pick. Kobe’s daughter was 13. A show named Chamberlain Heights predited his death. 13 was Wilt Chamberlain’s number, Wilt was also the youngest MVP to die before Kobe and he also played for the 76ers.
omg funny. but thing is, if i witnessed it, i would have had that detail too...sort of a stress release from witnessing something entirely overwhelming.
@@paulthomas9911 lmao i have a hard time believing you unless you also got experience as a sound engineer, who can tell the sound from a helicopter with low altitude and can describe the fiberglass crushing sounds 😂
@1 7 Are you insane? The guy sounds like a recreational pilot. Most of us flying types are articulate and cognizant of our surroundings. We also have an aptitude for paying attention to the flying things around us.
@@kiikrosperk3512 everyone is entitled to their opinion, just let that kid live in his fairyland if he isn't hurting you; Its likely a troll waiting for you to say that
@Bad Cattitude the max speed for that heli is around 155 and no way would any pilot fly that speed in those conditions at that altitude. where tf you get that info from
The TWA hat, calm demeanor, understanding of weather patterns, well spoken...yeah this guy has definitely been in aviation at some point. Hands down the most articulate and clear witness ive seen be interviewed.
Ian Stone Agreed. Such a horrible tragedy. RIP to all the persons who perished. The witness also spoke about rotor wash and was very precise about the approximate height and speed of the helicopter. For him to also make a point that it was likely a rotors-first impact based on the sound was also surprising insight. I wish we were not watching this video. So heartbreaking.
@@DavidMCampbell I love all the tinfoil hat truthers who see a TWA hat and immediately conclude _ILLUMINATI DID IT_ because they have no idea what ASD-B is or what it does so they just think this guy is somehow the only source of information about this crash lol
God. I can’t believe the way he died. If he died in his sleep I’d still be sad but this is just a vicious and gruesome way to pass, especially with your daughter. My hearts broken. Love you Kobe. Rest In Peace!

He is so detailed...! He even gave a shout out to “Jerry” the property manager who he works with was in the phone and standing next to the marquis. 🤷🏽♀️😳
gardensofthegods Well that depends, Kobe Bryant’s helicopter was a 1991 Model Sikorsky S-76B that was previously owned by the State of Illinois. Sikorsky was founded right here in the USA by a Ukrainian immigrant by the name of Igor Sikorsky. Many people believe Sikorsky to be a Russian Company because of the name, but it’s a common misconception. These helicopters are also not cheap and have a very clean safety record. RIP Kobe
I’m so sorry for the family it is so sad I cried I feel bad for the children an wife I’m praying for the whole family an friends I was wachting the game the nite before a saw the Lakers I’m so sorry everyone my thoughts an prayers are with you
@Black Jesus Hence Google, TH-cam,Facebook and pretty much all the advanced tech we use today is focused in California.........where you from? I'm guessing a red state.
BunchoStuff I has some doubts about all the scene cause there was not a bug crashing with fire and explosions view. This guy is not an eyewitness per se, but he explained the event so well it all seems to fit. I still don’t understand some angles yet.
He’s a Sound engineer.....that’s a great witness, his hearing is very sharp, RIP Kobe, his Daughter, all else on board and all effected by this. Another reminder to Love our very best 🙏🏻
wow, not only he witnessed the crash but he was an expert at the type of engine it was, as he was an engineer. This will help a lot to the investigators in the investigation.
XZeroh Cola prayers go out to ALL the victims and their families! My god 9 people lost their lives not just Kobe and daughter!!!! People are so insensitive!
XZeroh Cola It’s so so heartbreaking just thinking about the fear they might have felt before the fall, knowing there was nothing else they could do... 💔
We need more people like this, it makes me low key tear up when I think of Kobe holding his daughter super tight in those final moments, you were a hero in my child hood Kobe😞
@@StAnger561to770 yes...mostly likely everyone was just talking while the pilot was engaged in his crisis. LAPD grounded their craft for God's sake. Agencies should ground all rotor craft in inclement weather, especially around hills and mountains. Instrument rating and VFR have dangerous limitations. So sad....rich or whatever, treasure each moment of life...
I have a feeling they had no idea what was happening so they didn't really brace for impact... they had no visibility and all of the sudden they crashed into the side of the mountain.. Just hope that's the case so they didn't live out their last minute in deep fear. I don't understand why the pilot didnt just fly straight upwards over the fog if it was so dense where they were?? Happy to learn why that wasn't done or not potentially an option??

Omg one year later the investigators concluded that the pilot was disoriented. This guy called it minutes after it happened. He literally did a years worth of work intuitively in minutes.
It was fairly obvious from the start.
To be fair; the NTSB takes forever because they need to look at EVERY POSSIBLE FACTOR that contributes to an accident. As a pilot there are so many things that can contribute to an accident, whether it be not following checklists, proper preflight inspection, equipment for flight list, etc. The guy was spot on though! but the NTSB must be absolutely sure!
@@-SUM1- It wasn't obvious from the start, he may have lost engine power, lost hydraulics, hit a bird.. lots of things to make him dip low enough to hit that hill. They have to investigate it first

Most tragic events you don't have one. But a lot of people are interested or worked in aviation, especially somewhere like that. Let's say maybe 1% of people in such areas have the know-how to report like this. If there are a few within earshot for each disaster like this, eventually a major disaster will have a witness like this. It's hardly fantasy.

Awesome witness.
I already explained it yesterday. Helicopter enters dense fog, pilot hits a ridge, aircraft becomes uncontrollable and slams into the side of the mountain 2 seconds later at 180mph, the impact causes the helicopter to disintegrate, everybody dies.
There were no Disney moments of Kobe holding onto Gigi and telling her he loved her and all that. Smh lol
D. A. Although i never saw it or heard the explosion , i swear it was flying at 100 ft @ 3mph....although official NTBS report states 185 mph impact at 1400ft. Nice try Einstein.
LMAOOO
For someone who didn't technically "see the helicopter" this is the greatest witness testimony in the history of the world.
Kobe was a true Renaissance Man.
Even in tragedy he always did things perfectly. Including the reporting of what happened
For those of you that are too young to remember, his hat says a lot. TWA - Trans World Airlines....Google it.
@Vinny Ocean - A man that rapes a woman is not embodied in the characterization of a "Renaissance Man".
This offensive part of his life has either escaped your memory, or you are intentionally marginalizing rape.
Whatever it is, this man who happened to play basketball, & like so many with such transgressions does not warrant a pedestal, so instead, just hope that his family finds peace.
Well he did settle in civil court for a certain amount so that’s basically an admission of guilt just saying...
@@bestillandknow9127 Kobe was one of the greatest basketball players to ever exist and on top of that was an amazing father and man who deserves respect. He was never found guilty of raping that woman... to call him a rapist is a shameful lie.

@@ricciardoninavarro not really something that you want to "own"...

Frank Bella so what if he wasn’t a sound engineer? u guys would be giving him hate because he can’t explain properly but trying his best... fuck u
The interviewer was basically unnecessary. He did this whole interview perfectly by himself.
The real deal
ok
Kobe trusted his pilot in a dependable helicopter, paul Walker trusted a racecar driver in a Porsche, white star trusted a seasoned captain on his last voyage, dale Earnhardt trusted his abilities on the last lap on the last turn of the race.........trust nothing..live every day as if it were your last because one day it will be. Love one another
That's deep.
So was the Titanic.
@Larry Smith not much of a fire that i saw in the photos...would think it would've left everything scorched. Then again watching helicopters crash on line the blades most often dont just stop suddenly. Most show that the blades cause the chopper to be thrown around awhile unless they got jammed or broken off completely. This guy says they were going slow and low officially they're saying it fell at 5k ft a sec at 180mph. The police weren't even allowed to fly that day so how did this go on at all? More questions and nonsense than any information.
Live your life trusting no one, wow. Great way to live ;)
Kobe probably had no idea his helicopter was not certified to fly in that type of weather. The pilot ignore regulations. The NTSB has stated the helicopter was not certified to fly in that type of weather. Kobe, I can only assume was unaware of this. His dumb-ass pilot got them all killed.

Thanks dad 🙈
Valerie as a student pilot and Aviation enthusiast myself, he’s really not.
@@Toasty_-jx6zk I totally disagree. He knows it's hard to hover a heli, and that's correct, he knows about cloud ceilings, he knows about turbine engines (versus, say, a piston-engined heli like R22 / R44), he knows the Sikorsky was a twin turbine, he knows about rotor-wash, he is detailed, and eloquent and precise, and his father was a pilot, so it's hardly surprising that he is knowledgeable about aviation and it's false of YOU to pretend otherwise. Ps. I also flew in the 90s, got my pilot's license.

Since radar shows the helicopter was going 160+ mph in a steep dive from 2000 ft altitude right there I'm not quite so sure of his credibility. The TWA hat is a nice touch though.
Lol
He would have heard you drive away on a easterly track and predict what canyon you were hiding in.
AZROW MIX The aircraft was 29 years old. In fact, the pilot had to rely on his eye sight to fly rather than use the altitude/speed gauge (which was a big reason why he ended up crashing). So it’s safe to say the “radar” was highly inaccurate and should not be relied upon.

I'm starting to wonder if Kobe was murdered. ESPN posted that Kobe had "passed the torch" to LeBron yesterday and then the next day he was gone. This is like when Giuliani and Bush had planes loaded with explosives take down the World Trade Center to justify getting their hands on heavy oil money in the Middle East.
@TheBestFighter The facts don't add up. Kobe is a millionaire and his helicopter doesn't have a ground proximity warning system? The chopper impacts the ground at 180mph? There was no fog 3 miles away in all directions? This makes it seem like a kamikaze pilot intentionally flew to that place to take Kobe out.

Flying right through a route with dense fog when there's no fog 4 miles away? And now this old man, who just so happens to be a former TWA employee, also just so happens to be a couple hundred feet away when it happens? Nah... Somebody did Kobe dirty.

Many people believe Sikorsky to be a Russian Company because of the name, but it’s a common misconception. These helicopters are also not cheap and have a very clean safety record. RIP Kobe
This guy had me on the edge of my seat with the way he recreated the entire ordeal. Good job sir.

Wow this man is giving me a solid good picture of what happened. He knows his aircraft
Yea and I noticed he has the TWA hat on also, probably works for them
He's probably ex military
The IQ is strong with this one
Very
1000 subscribers with no videos? Bruh u can’t even spell “knowledge”
When he said visual stand point l knew it was real
@Black Jesus Hence Google, TH-cam,Facebook and pretty much all the advanced tech we use today is focused in California.........where you from? I'm guessing a red state.
BunchoStuff I has some doubts about all the scene cause there was not a bug crashing with fire and explosions view. This guy is not an eyewitness per se, but he explained the event so well it all seems to fit. I still don’t understand some angles yet.
They lucked out and found a witness that super analytical and knew the topography.
He’s a Sound engineer.....that’s a great witness, his hearing is very sharp, RIP Kobe, his Daughter, all else on board and all effected by this. Another reminder to Love our very best 🙏🏻
Random Elvis bro, a sound engineer AND a small aircraft AND weather pattern expert? What the fuck are the odds of that guy witnessing this!

Too true friend, they need to chat to this guy in depth!!
@@Hakysak89 you know...persons with a life full of achievements are exactly like this man, full of knowledge
He might be a shit sound engineer.
wow, not only he witnessed the crash but he was an expert at the type of engine it was, as he was an engineer. This will help a lot to the investigators in the investigation.
he was sent. especially saying he heard it directly above
Its crazy how he also stated that theres never clouds that low and dense.
@@russvaldezjr7175 exactly
jordaaannna he was sent? By who?
Vincenzo Vieri Engineer? He runs sound in a local Church.
We are watching the version of a very polite, human and kindness person.
I've watched this video 5 times now because this guy describes things so well
this must be the most articulated testimony ever!!!! Incredible!!
@@funkingitup1805 lucky thing she's not a rape victim gaylord
@@funkingitup1805 ??
Agree!
@@funkingitup1805 not necessary
Can you imagine losing your husband and daughter in one day? I can not imagine what she is going through, prayers go out to her❤️
XZeroh Cola prayers go out to ALL the victims and their families! My god 9 people lost their lives not just Kobe and daughter!!!! People are so insensitive!
It happens in car accidents daily.
Beatrice Roberts 😐
@@beatriceroberts4859 i feel horrible for everybody involved and their families. This is so tragic.....
XZeroh Cola It’s so so heartbreaking just thinking about the fear they might have felt before the fall, knowing there was nothing else they could do... 💔
We need more people like this, it makes me low key tear up when I think of Kobe holding his daughter super tight in those final moments, you were a hero in my child hood Kobe😞
Thet may have been in their own chairs, not sure of the seat configuration, but also they probably did not see it coming. Due to the thick fog.
@@StAnger561to770 yes...mostly likely everyone was just talking while the pilot was engaged in his crisis. LAPD grounded their craft for God's sake. Agencies should ground all rotor craft in inclement weather, especially around hills and mountains. Instrument rating and VFR have dangerous limitations. So sad....rich or whatever, treasure each moment of life...
Stop saying low key.
I have a feeling they had no idea what was happening so they didn't really brace for impact... they had no visibility and all of the sudden they crashed into the side of the mountain.. Just hope that's the case so they didn't live out their last minute in deep fear. I don't understand why the pilot didnt just fly straight upwards over the fog if it was so dense where they were?? Happy to learn why that wasn't done or not potentially an option??
Lucia Sosa because he probably couldn’t see?
Excellent witness. Adds considerable insight into what may of caused this very tragic accident.
