The NBA postponed the Los Angeles Lakers’ next game against the Clippers on Tuesday night after the deaths of the retired superstar and the other victims. ADADThe pilot, Ara Zobayan, was chief pilot for the craft’s owner, Island Express Helicopters. Randy Waldman, a helicopter flight instructor who lives in Los Angeles, said the radar tracking data he’s seen leads him to believe the pilot got confused in the fog and went into a fatal dive. The weather was so foggy that the Los Angeles Police Department and the county sheriff’s department had grounded their own choppers. Details of what followed are still under investigation but there are indications that the helicopter plunged some 1,000 feet (305 meters).
