Kobe Bryant Crash Site: NTSB Releases Images
Federal investigators have been at the scene of the fatal helicopter crash that killed retired Lakers star Kobe Bryant, his teenage daughter and seven others.
On Tuesday, National Transportation Safety Board officials released images from the scene. NTSB board member Jennifer Homendy had described the crash site as “pretty devastating,” with debris spread across 500 to 600 feet of terrain.
