Kobe and Gianna Bryant - by Moses

 
      In a tragic chain of events a helicopter flying Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna alongside the Altobelli family (John and Keri, and daughter Alyssa), Christina Mauser, Sarah Chester and her daughter Payton, and pilot Ara Zobayan crashed over Calabasas, California leaving the aforementioned dead. 

  One has to wonder the impact on America today as a result.  Many of us take our lives for granted so it's hurtful that so many successful people had to die in this catastrophe.  The Basketball Community across America is still in mourning losing a living legend in Kobe Bryant at the age of 41 and his 13 year old daughter Gianna.  So many dreams to be left unfulfilled with the deaths of three children 10-13 years of age.  So many accomplishments still left in Kobe Bryant and John Altobelli that we'll never be able to enjoy in the public eye.  The fact that both men lost their own daughters in this sad affair is truly tragic.  How will America look at these chains' of events with the Super-Bowl being in the limelight today?  Should America look at Kobe Bryant and John Altobelli as martyrs to a higher order?  Personally, the loss of my own life would pale in comparison to the deaths' of my own children.  

  Some will try to pass by this occurrence as a short lived tragedy, I put it forth this way;  Will we ever forget what we were doing when we found out that Kobe Bryant was killed in a helicopter crash?
