Our reporter LAcrimes watched as Kobe Bryant’s helicopter crash and burst into flames. “It wasn’t sounding right and it was real low,' said an eyewitness. 'I saw it falling and spluttering. But it was hard to make out as it was so foggy.'
Using binoculars, I was able to see the aircraft had been torn apart and was on fire. It turned out the aircraft was a helicopter, and it was scattered in many pieces on the hillside.
In the ensuing minutes, a stream of firefighters arrived to tackle the fire. I was able to make it closer to the crash site, where I saw debris strewn across the hillside, still smoldering.Eyewitness Jerry Kocharian, 62, said he was standing outside the Church in the Canyon drinking coffee when he heard a helicopter that was flying unusually low and seeming to struggle.“It wasn’t sounding right,” he said, “and it was real low. I saw it falling and spluttering.
Later, the L.A. Times confirmed that two of those on board were Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter.
