The 2021 #VMAs received the lowest viewership ever, only 900k tuned in to a show that used to draw millions. Rumour has it that the irrelevant show is hiring an irrelevant actor to make an appearance this year because he is a violent abuser & the #DVMAs love violent men: a 🧵 
🪡: #VMAs 1989 - #AxlRose was charged with statutory rape in 1985, but charges were dropped due to lack of evidence. In 1987, Rose was arrested onstage for assaulting a security guard. #DVMAs #VMAbusers
🪡: #VMAs 1992 - Marky #MarkWahlberg has a history of racism & violence. In the 1980s, he was involved in several racially motivated attacks. A month before the 1992 #VMAs he assaulted a neighbor & fractured his jaw. #DVMAs #VMAbusers
#Hilo🧵La leyenda del basquetbol profesional #KobeBryant, hoy estaría cumpliendo 42 años, pero un accidente aéreo le costó la vida. Aquí más que rememorar su gran carrera en la duela, queremos hablar de algunos detalles que no son tan conocidos del originario de Filadelfia.
🥩El origen de su nombre se remonta al momento en que su madre le informó a su esposo que estaba embarazada mientras saboreaban un filete “Kobe” en un restaurante japonés y fue tal el gusto por el filete que le pusieron Kobe a su futuro hijo.
⚽️Una parte de su infancia transcurrió en Italia, en donde se hizo un gran aficionado del futbol y algunas vez dijo que la práctica de ese deporte le permitió mejorar su desempeño como basquetbolista. Además de que llegó a hablar un italiano muy fluido.

1b. HEADLINES:
•- No Flight Data Recorder (FDR) or Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) on the S-76B that crashed.
•- no Terrain Awareness Warning System (TAWS).
•- impact point was 1085ft Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL).
•- pilot lost comms w/ ATC at 2300ft AMSL (AMSL not specified).
•- No Flight Data Recorder (FDR) or Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) on the S-76B that crashed.

2. NTSB BRIEF:
Key info from brief. I’ll also provide questions/analysis in response.
PILOT
as of July 2019, the pilot had:
•- 8200hrs total (so more hours at time/date of crash)
•- 1250hrs on type (S-76).
A very experienced pilot. I flew 2500hrs over a 20yr career.

Did the lack of a terrain awareness and warning system play a major role in this crash that only missed clearing the hill by a reported 20-30 feet? The NTSB says they’re exploring that possibility among others. Here’s the latest on the investigation. #KobeBryant
The NTSB actually recommended that similar helicopters be equipped with TAWS after a crash in 2004 but it was never implemented by the FAA.
Investigators are also looking at whether the pilot should have been granted permission to fly in Sunday’s weather conditions. The helicopter was likely still in one piece before slamming into the hillside.
We've learned a lot about the moments leading up to Kobe Bryant's helicopter crash, including the pilot's last transmission before radar data showed a descending left turn. Here's my story with @Nia_Official on the investigation, the victims, and the loving memories.
@Nia_Official The NTSB will be on scene for about five days to collect perishable evidence and continue to document the scene. They say they won't determine the cause on scene, but feel very confident they’ll determine the cause of the accident.
@Nia_Official Here's the flight path the helicopter took. Because of the weather the pilot requested to fly under special visual flight rules (not abnormal). At one point it circled for 12 minutes until air traffic control approved the request. #KobeBryant
Dünden beri #KobeBryant'la ilgili bu tweetleri atıp atmamakta kararsızdım. Ancak, Washington Post muhabiri F. Sonmez'in onun tecavüzle suçlanması ve sonrasında yaşananlarla ilgili tweetleri nedeniyle gördüğü tepki ve işten uzaklaştırılması üzerine bu zinciri yazmaya karar verdim
Burada spor ve cinsiyetçilik üzerine ortaklaştığım insanların dahi #KobeBryant'ın ardından söyledikleri, onun "zeki, çevik ve ahlaklı" sporculuğu üzerine övgüleri bir kadın olarak, cinsel şiddet mağdurlarının yaşadıklarının unutuluyor olduğunu göstermesi açısından sarsıcıydı >
Ölmüş bir insanın arkasından konuşmamamız gerektiğini söyleyenleri hayatım boyunca ciddiye almadım. Örneğin Kenan Evren'in arkasından konuşmamalıyız, çünkü öldü diyen birini ciddiye almadığım gibi Kobe'nin arkasından da neden sadece övgüler düzmeliyiz anlamıyorum >

Our level of hypocrisy in this country is heartbreaking. Now everyone is forming to know Kobe Bryant, sending condolences up and down, even those who aren't fan of basketball.
Just last week a whole CAN president was beheaded by Boko Haram after being kidnapped for not Converting to Islam, nobody said anything o. Most of you didn't even type only RIP. We're too quick to form familiarity with anything foreign.
Kobe bryant, if you're hearing me, don't take Nigerians serious, they are only using your name to form woke.
On my own part, I didn't know you but I wish you eternal rest!

Thread on cause of #KobeBryant crash.
1/ I've flown commercially in the crash area for many years. When the crash occurred, I tweeted a first impression, that the crash bore the hallmarks of something called a CFIT event.

2/ Controlled Flight Into Terrain is when a properly functioning aircraft is flown, under control, into the ground. Not uncommon when someone suddenly enters clouds.
3/ If they're not expecting to transition from piloting using visual ground reference to their instruments, it's easy to become disoriented.
A continuación un informe especial sobre la trágica muerte de #KobeBryant, su hija y otras siete personas. Acabo de regresar del lugar de la tragedia y esta fue parte de la información que pude recopilar. Va.
1. Kobe tenía su academia Mamba Sports Academy, donde su hija Gigi, 13 años, jugaba en el equipo de baloncesto. La leyenda de los #Lakers vivía en Newport Beach, al sur de #Los Angeles. Siempre renegó del tráfico angelino y por eso apenas pudo se compró un helicóptero.
2. El equipo de su hija jugaba hoy a las 12, un partido contra un equipo de Fresno, ciudad del norte de California. Por ese motivo Kobe invitó en su helicóptero a la entrenadora del equipo Christina Mauser, a John Altobelli, DT de beisbol, a otra niña jugadora y sus padres.
1. Track of #KobeBryant’s S-76B as it heads North West. Altitude slowly climbs to above 1000ft. Speed reduces to ~45kts as S-76 slows down and orbits (this is a standard manoeuvre if you’re approaching bad weather). Orbit looks in vicinity of Burbank.
2. Options on bad weather — slow down, go down, and, if needed land on. Or IMC abort. Transfer to instruments, full power, climb to altitude (above Safety Altitude - highest point of high ground in the area), talk to ATC and look for a cloud break.
3. A few points on weather minima for Visual Flight Rules (VFR).
VFR — 3 miles visibility, 500ft vertically clear of cloud and 1 mile horizontally.
SVFR — Under Special VFR, 1 mile visibility, and clear of cloud in sight of surface.

After initially lying to police #KobeBryant admits the sex only lasted for 5 mins, he grabbed her by the throat then asked to jerk off in her face because that’s his “finishing move” she was 19. #MeToo #Oscars
Too many lacerations to count.
NOT consistent with consensual sex.
