Wrongful death lawsuit filed by Kobe Bryant's wife Vanessa says pilot, who was among 9 killed, should have aborted flight. | cbcsports

Vanessa Bryant's lawsuit asserts that Zobayan was negligent in eight different ways, including failing to properly assess the weather, flying into conditions he wasn't cleared for and failing to control the helicopter.Lawsuit filed on day of public memorial

Fans leave Staples Center after attending a memorial to celebrate the life of Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna Bryant and the seven others who died in a helicopter crash on Jan. 26. Attorneys for Vanessa Bryant would not comment on why they filed the case on the day of the memorial service.Zobayan, Bryant's frequent pilot, was flying the basketball star, his daughter Gianna, and six of their friends to a basketball tournament at his Mamba Sports Academy when the helicopter crashed in Calabasas, Calif.

Under the visual flight rules Zobayan was following, he was required to see where he was going. Zobayan was cited by the Federal Aviation Administration in May 2015 for violating those rules by flying into reduced visibility airspace, the lawsuit said.In his last transmission, Zobayan told air traffic control that he was climbing to 4,000 feet to get above the clouds.

cbcsports She should grieve first, then sue that hairdresser!

cbcsports LMFAO, the world is a better place now that HE is gone!!!

cbcsports Well the pilot didnt..and that's life..do you really need the money sweetheart Purpose to this

cbcsports She’s courageous 🤗

cbcsports FFS. Maybe someone shouldn't have used his fame and money to push the pilot into flying in unsafe conditions. And risking his own child's life.

cbcsports If this suit goes through then anyone losing friends and/or loved ones can sue any airline that crashes killing people!

cbcsports Very sad. She doesn’t need to take money from who ever this poor man, who was also a victim, left his estate to. He probably wasn’t overly wealthy. Taking from someone else won’t bring Bryant’s family back. He’s dead. Who is she trying to punish?

cbcsports And...here we go...

cbcsports No one says no to Kobe , even the hotel worker in Denver
