Kobe Bryant helo crash - very good explanation

https://youtu.be/0MbBmJ-X66c

17 minute video

my bottom line / my understanding of the situation ---- the pilot got
into fog - he was not really well trained nor prepared to handle it -
doing a 'check flight' wearing a hood is NOT the same as suddenly
straying into a fog bank

11:00 on the tape - between 2010 and 2019 twenty (medevac) copters
have crashed the same way - YIKES

ear plays tricks on pilots balance

2nd thought - he should have been aware that he might end up in the
fog - but he probably thought he was prepared to handle the fog
because he had practiced - but he had not practiced in the "real"
"real" really real world (if you know what I am saying)

I see there is also a 30 minute video from the account about the crash
- looks like they have a discussion between several people about the
crash
