[People], Kobe Bryant tragedy: Jorge Lorenzo's special tribute

The sports world is shocked after news of NBA ace Kobe Bryant's death in a helicopter crash. His 13-year-old daughter was with him and Gianna Maria did not survive any more than the seven other passengers of the fatal machine. Precisely, it is the latter who also inspired Jorge Lorenzo who thereby paid his particular tribute. And once again, his sincerity and candor earned him a certain incomprehension…

Kobe Bryant is no more and all the athletes paid tribute to him and expressed their pain via the web. From this mass, however, emerges the message of a Jorge Lorenzo who questions and warns: “ I was never a fan of helicopters, despite their dynamism and agility, I avoided them whenever I could and encouraged my friends to do the same. Today they took another kill, one of the biggest in basketball history. Another example of the fragility of life, let's enjoy it as long as possible. (And avoid helicopters until they are safer). »

To those who point out that he traveled by helicopter for many years without ever having an accident, Jorge Lorenzo replied : " jDon't take them, I lost 8 friends in a helicopter. I understand that my Tweet may offend, but I don't care. Unfortunately, Kobe and the other victims can't turn back the clock, but I hope my message helps others be happy. »
