The wrongful death lawsuit filed by Vanessa Bryant in Los Angeles says the pilot was careless and negligent by flying in cloudy conditions Jan. 26 and should have aborted the flight.

Pilot Ara Zobayan was among the nine people killed in the crash.

The lawsuit was filed as a public memorial service for Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and all the victims was being held at the arena where Bryant played most of his career.

She has enough millions and the guy didn’t do anything wrong.
I’m not impressed with her

The pilot was previously disciplined by the FAA in 2015, for a similar stunt; he showed atrocious judgment by flying in such adverse conditions. Also, why do you remark about someone else’s wealth, when that person and her surviving family are still grieving? It was a very insensitive remark, which showed an utter lack of compassion on your part, Mr. Dan!
