Helicopter pilot’s representative blames crash on Kobe Bryant, passengers

Well, this is… wild to say the least. The representative of the pilot who was flying the helicopter that killed Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and six other passengers in January says the people on board were responsible for the crash, according to TMZ.

The relative of the pilot answered Vanessa Bryant’s lawsuit against Ara George Zobayan and the helicopter company, blaming the passengers for negligence. 

“Any injuries or damages to plaintiffs and/or their decedent were directly caused in full or in part by the negligence or fault of plaintiffs and/or their decedent, including their knowing and voluntary encounter with the risks involved, and that this negligence was a substantial factor in causing their purported damages, for which this answering defendant bears no responsibility,” the relative said, according to TMZ.

The lawsuit doesn’t state how the passengers may have been negligent or assumed risk. You have to imagine all passengers were sitting in their seats comfortably and behaving properly before the crash.
