Pilot And All Other 6 Victims Of The Helicopter Crash That Killed Kobe And Gianna Has Been Identified***PICTURES***
As the world struggles to come to terms with the sudden demise of NBA great, Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna (GiGi) in a helicopter crash early Sunday morning, authorities have been able to completely identify everyone on board the ill fated flight. While authorities were still fleshing out the detail of the crash late Sunday night, the one person who was recorded as unidentified, the pilot, has now been been revealed as Ara Zobayan. A well loved flying instructor in the aviation community, who taught aspiring helicopter pilots to fly. He was also described as an instrument-rated pilot, which means that he was qualified to fly in foggy conditions. This level of qualification requires training and instruction beyond that of a standard private or commercial pilot. He was reportedly a close friend of the Bryant family and super star athlete trusted Ara's expertise in flying him and his family always.
See more after the jump!!!
In addition to Ara, Kobe and Gianna, 6 other people lost their lives in the crash. The other victims were Gianna's teammates, Payton Chester and Alyssa Altobelli. Payton's mom Sarah Chelster, Alyssa's parents, John and Karen Altobelli and basketball coach, Christina Mauser. The group was flying to Kobe's Mamba Sports Academy for a game when the crash occurred.
This is a devastation of unimaginable proportion. Our hearts goes out to everyone hurting as a result of this monumental loss. We pray for God's strength and comfort. May they all go with God and may their memories be a blessing🙏🙏🙏

Are you in anyway having difficulties in family, having issues with marital affairs, well i am here to let the world know how i came in contact with Dr. IZOYA, early this year, i was diagnosed of prostrate cancer and a fibroid, i kept on living with the sickness in me and this lead to a miscarriage while i was pregnant, this brought alot problems to my family and marriage, along the line, my husband said he could not continue with the marriage because we have been to soo many medical institutions not knowing my case was a spiritual one. My husband left me, on my search on how i could get him back, i came across Dr. IZOYA whom i explained my problems to, and he made a powerful charm and promised to help me, i did all the things he asked and after some days i got a call from hospital to come for my medical reports, when i got there, i was diagnosed and behold i have no medical problems anymore, same day i got a text from my EX begging if he could return home. What a double blessings and with excitement i drop his email for those facing spiritualism, so he can be of great help... drizayaomosolution@gmail.com, contact him and see.
