So investigators said that the helicopter carrying Kobe Bryant was involved in a

‘high energy impact crash’ when it slammed into a hillside.

Cheers for that, lads. That's cleared it right up.

You remember that New Zealand sightseeing flight that went straight into a mountain in Antarctica?

They had no idea...flew right into the middle of it...dead centre...bullseye....no idea it was in front of them until it was too late.

Yes. I have some recent experience of this. They release the recordings almost immediately and then about two years later they release the ATSB report. Odd way of going about things, tbh.
