Per the news 9 total on flight, none survived. They believe the others were Gianna’s team mates and their parents 

 

May they all Rest In Peace

Jimmy Kimmel honors Kobe Bryant: 'He was a hero'

I am waiting for the media to give as much coverage to the other eight members of the flight.

Excellent comment nstoolman1, thank you! This is a tragedy no matter who was on the flight.

 

I think Kobe was a fantastic basketball player, one of the best, but he wasn't the only person on the flight.

 

In our celebified society, I think too many people have to have their "hero" figure, someone deemed larger than themselves, but this tends to diminish others who are not celebrities but are nonetheless of no less value as a human being. To me, the real 'hero's' are usually unknown and never try and attract attention to their life and actions. They live a life of decency and help wherever they are needed.

Perhaps Kobe had gone full circle.....and had figured out life.....I hope so anyhow....

 

Jim is right.......8 other tragic stories on this one.....those themselves touching thousands of lives.....prayers for all of them....      CL

I do agree the others' lives are as important...Of course so..
