01-swc Kobe.

PS: so much misinformation came out as the story was evolving and the passengers were still being confirmed. Horrible! Terrible that people are in such a rush to get “the scoop” they can’t get the story right.

Not only the misinformation, Hammer, but apparently TMZ broke the news BEFORE the families could be notified! So the victims' families found out about their death from a TMZ breaking news update. How incredibly sad! Such a lack of respect for people's emotions and the right way of handling sensitive information like this. Maybe they should stick with reporting on who's feuding with who, and speculating on why Brad Pitt is buying so much Preparation H.

Yeah, early reports had Rick Fox on the flight, 3 victims, 4 victims, all his daughters and then some. Horrible to find out that way a loved one died, but to hear that way one died when they didn’t is pathetic. All done to get the scoop or some clicks on social media with no regard to the people truly affected. Where we are in society is sickening at times.

I heard those “reports” but admittedly don’t follow enough to know what they were.

Are we talking TMZ or another media outlet that claims to be a legitimate media outlet or was this some back end 4chan message board rumor? Those are two completely different things.

TMZ has never had any principles as an organization. Their leaders probably don’t care one way or another if the next of kin find out on their Facebook feed or not. They’d probably say “well it’s the cops fault for taking so long to call his family. Why’s that our problem?”.

TMZ reported that Kobe and four others died in a helicopter crash with no survivors far before anyone else and before any families could be notified, and that neither his wife nor any of his daughters were on board. ABC Los Angeles reported that all four of his daughters were on board and died with him. Someone(I'm not sure who) reported that Rick Fox was on board. It turned out to be Kobe and eight others, including his 13 year old daughter and a couple of her teammates.
