The pilot was very experienced...
I guess this disorientation could happen to any pilot...

Duh, we kind of figured that out after a day or so. How much taxpayer money was spent investigating the obvious?

I guess this disorientation could happen to any pilot... That's why aircraft have instruments. One would think a pilot with his experience would have been closely watching his instruments. I'm sure it's hard, though, when your brain is telling you one thing and your instruments another. This is the same way JFK, Jr., crashed his plane. Of course, he was not a particularly experienced pilot.

Or the pilot allowed someone else to take the controls? Likely the pilot attempted to regain control. Whom ever was on the controls panicked and held on.
Which is why helicopter flew in an erratic way before it crashed

It could, but there is video of him flying intentionally into the clouds, which he was not permitted to do. He’ll be found at fault.

Aren’t helicopter pilots required to fly “under the hood” like conventional pilots?

It absolutely can happen to any pilot at any time, you have about 2 seconds to get it together when entering IMC before spatial disorientation takes over

Probably wasn’t too smart in the first place to fly in that fog.

In his autobiograaphy, Jimmy Dolittle wrote that Lindberg had nearly crashed after becoming disoriented in low clouds.

My understanding... Kobe orders the pilot to GO even though conditions are dangerous!
Now it's the pilot's fault?
To: L.A.Justice
Kobe Bryant KILLED HIMSELF (or got himself killed)
I don’t know this (obviously), but I’ll bet Kobe Bryant INSISTED (or talked the pilot into) that they make the flight because I”M “Kobe Bryant”.
And the pilot, influenced by Kobe Bryant’s superstardom and celebrity, wanted to “please” him.
NOT an accident! TOTALLY AVOIDABLE! Should NEVER have left the ground.
