    No problem with Wade at 26. Kawhi at 25 and Giannis at 27 may be a stretch but that’s only because of a lack of longevity at this point. Both could end up top 20 very easily in five years.

    Did he love his daughters, though? Hell did he even have any daughters? #Kobe4Eva

    Two daughters. Three sons.

    How many sons did Kobe have?

    Eerily similar results to the crash that killed my sister and her family, only that instead of fog, it was night and they too ran into some weather. Got what's called spatial disorientation. The NTSB conclusion is exactly what I expected as soon as this happened last year.

    A tragic accident. Shouldn't have been flying. Same with my sister's family.

    Unfortunately, there’s a lot of money behind the pressure to blame the dead pilot. As the article infers, the investigators don’t know what kind of pressure was applied for the pilot to fly into the fog.

    Agreed. And they most likely will never know what kind of pressure was applied.

    We retraced my sister/BIL's steps the night they flew and we'll never know why they decided to go instead of waiting until the morning. My parents have beaten themselves up for not insisting on that. But Jeff was pretty hard-headed. He was bound to fly that night -- for whatever reasons.

    Sigh.

    I apologize. I didn't think about you being in the thread, and I damn well should have.

    Thanks. Even if I wasn't in it, let's (try to) not be flippant. Families are impacted by this stuff.
