Bryant’s sudden death at age 41 touched off an outpouring of grief for a star whose celebrity transcended basketball. The passengers were on their way to a basketball game when the chopper went down. The helicopter was flying in foggy conditions considered dangerous enough that local police agencies grounded their choppers. The helicopter’s flight path shows it going from Orange County to the San Fernando Valley and then hovering over the Glendale area as it waited for clearance to travel through the Valley to Calabasas. The tracking ends at the crash site in Calabasas. In addition to the NBA legend and his daughter, the victims included a highly-regarded baseball coach and three young athletes.
