Newly released 911 calls made in aftermath of helicopter crash that killed NBA legend Kobe Bryant and eight others underscore poor weather conditions that aircraft was flying in.
Another caller told dispatchers that the helicopter crashed into a mountain and that he was looking at the burning wreckage.,described the poor visibility in the foggy conditions: “Imagine jumping into a pool filled with milk, and opening your eyes.”
"It went over my head. It's thick in clouds. And then I heard a pop and it immediately stopped," another caller told dispatchers."If this guy doesn't have night vision, I mean, he was, he's completely IFR," in an apparent reference to Instrument Flight Rules, which govern flights which rely on instrument readings rather than visual reference.
The weather conditions are one factor being examined as a potential cause of the crash by the National Transportation Safety Board’s probe into the incident.
