The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has released drone video footage of NBA legend Kobe Bryant’s helicopter crash site near Calabasas, California. The video, released on YouTube, includes both drone footage as well as on-ground video. NTSB personnel are using a DJI Phantom series drone to map out the scene of the wreckage.
The helicopter carried nine people including Bryant and his daughter when it crashed into a mountainside on Sunday, January 26. The video footage includes clips from a drone above the wreckage as well as on-ground video clips.
