Helicopter Company Involved in Kobe Bryant’s Death Makes Announcement

The charter company that owned the helicopter Kobe Bryant and eight others died on has suspended all services.  In a statement posted to their website yesterday, they decided to ground all their flights “until such time as it was deemed appropriate for staff and customers.” It’s believed they are currently working with authorities to investigate the cause of the crash that also killed their chief pilot. It’s unclear, however, if they plan to implement any new safety features on their helicopters going forward. And ABC news anchor Matt Gutman has been suspended for inaccurate on-air reporting he made concerning the crash. Gutman claimed, well before any information on the victims had been released, that all of Kobe’s children had been on board the helicopter at the time. According to ABC, false reporting is not tolerated and will hold those accountable who do it. Gutman has since offered a public apology.
