Fans Pay Tribute Marking One Year Since Kobe Bryant Death
CALABASAS (CNS) - The chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board said today it was “hard to square certain elements of the board s findings regarding the helicopter company involved in the crash that killed Lakers legend Kobe Bryant and eight other people last year.
The NTSB issued its official report on the Jan. 26, 2020, crash in Calabasas on Tuesday, along with its recommendations to avoid such crashes in the future.
Investigators faulted Burbank-based Island Express for “inadequate review and oversight with the safety management system, but an NTSB investigator also said he saw no reason to believe the company was an unsafe carrier.
