My mom called asking me to meet her and her brother for lunch today at Subway. I got a chicken breast sandwich , my mom got a turkey one and my uncle got a meatball one! We finished our yummy sandwiches. We were the only customers left in the shop and the man that works there said, "Do you know who Kobe Bryant is?" I replied ,"Yes" and he said, "He died!". My mouth dropped to the floor almost and he pointed to the TV that is mounted on the wall. The TV was not very loud and my uncle asked ." When?" The man replied ,"Now in a helicopter crash." We were so shocked! Then I looked at the news on my phone to see that his 13 year old daughter had died too. RIP Kobe and Gianna

@dfollin oh yes, there are many fans of Kobe here considering that Philippines is a basketball-crazy country.

@Alexandoy Oh I didn't know that basketball was so big there. Are there professional teams there too?

There were 9 victims! Kobe, Gianna, the piolet, one of her team mates and one of her parents from what I understand. And 4 other people that I do not know who they are.
