The death of basketball legend Kobe Bryant as a result of a tragic accident while traveling in his private helicopter shocked the world. In the same helicopter, Bryant's daughter, Gianna, 13, and seven other people were traveling. Unfortunately, everyone lost their lives after the helicopter lost control as a result of the fog and was engulfed in flames. The tragic event happened in Calabasas, California.
The effort to get the troops out still continues as the terrain is difficult. The operation was made more difficult as a large number of fans arrived at the scene, which in some way testifies to the story Bryant left behind.
