Kareem Abdul-Jabar just spoke very loving about his friendship with Kobe.

At the end he said, "Go with God".

So horribly sad.

The Lakers are on the tarmac after just landing. Sadly they were told of Kobe's passing while in flight from Philadelphia.

Only a 17-minute drive by car; wish they'd driven.

They confirmed his 13 year old daughter GiGi they called her was on the helicopter and she died.

So sad, I can't imagine what his wife is going through.  They had 4 daughters.

While known by most people across the country and maybe the world, the feelings here in SoCal are immeasurable. People are already congregating at the Staples Center and of course in Calabasas.

It was very foggy this morning where I am and also where the crash occurred. I don't know if that was a factor.

I heard on the news that the fog could have been the cause. This reminds me of JFK  JR. flying his plane in the fog when it went down in the ocean.

The loss of children is the most heartbreaking to me.  They have their whole lives ahead of them and rely on adults to keep them safe.
