Sad, awful and avoidable. More details reveal that the crash was caused by poor visibility (fog) Why do pilots continue to defy nature? JFK Jr, Buddy Holley and crew come to mind. The update reported that there was 8 killed in the crash, 2 more girls and their moms. The copter was a huge flying limo utilized to fly over the LA traffic.
So to avoid the traffic and get there an hour earlier Coby would use it. Good grief couldn't you watch an hour of stuff on TV in your 4 wheeled limo? It was reported that the pilot did in fact put down at one point, but then continued on. The control tower told him he was too low to be picked up on radar, but he flew on 'till a mountain was right in front of him.
