The NTSB says an initial investigation into the Kobe Bryant helicopter crash shows no outward evidence of engine failure.
The National Transportation Safety Board released preliminary findings into the Jan. 26 crash saying it appears the engine was working at the time of the crash because there was a cut tree branch at the crash scene.The main wreckage was 127 feet from the impact site -- and that's where investigators found both engines, the entire fuselage, portions of the cockpit instrument panel and other key pieces of the aircraft.
According to the report, the pilot's final transmission to the Southern California Terminal Radar Approach Control was to let the controller know he was trying to climb to 4,000 feet to get above the thick fog/cloud layer. However, radar data collected by investigators shows the aircraft only reached 2,300 feet before trying to make a left turn. Eight seconds later the aircraft began descending at a VERY high rate of speed, dropping at rate of 4,000 feet per minute before crashing into the mountain.with a terrain awareness and warning system , nor was it outfitted with a flight data recorder or cockpit voice recorder .
