were among those who held a press conference Sunday afternoon, explaining that nine victims in total — the pilot and eight others — died in the incident.
“All survivors were determined to have been perished,” Osby said, adding it took authorities eight minutes to get to the crash site. “Our firefighters on the scene indicated there was a debris-filled and steep terrain with quarter-acre brushfire,” Osby said. “Our firefighters hiked into the accident site with medical equipment and hose lines to extinguish the stubborn fire, as it included the brushfire debris from the helicopter. The fire also included magnesium which is very hard for our firefighters to extinguish because magnesium reacts with oxygen and water.
Since then, three more victims have been identified, including John Altobelli, the head baseball coach at Orange Coast College, along with his wife Keri Altobelli and their daughter, Alyssa Altobelli. Alyssa was a teammate of Gianna’s. John, 56, and Keri are also parents to daughter Alexis Altobelli and son John Altobelli, who works as a scout for the Red Sox.“Orange Coast College asks the media and the public to respect the privacy of John’s family and friends during this difficult time,” they said.
