Charter Company In Bryant Crash Operated VFR-Only
Island Express, the aircraft charter company that owned the Sikorsky S-76 helicopter that impacted a hillside in Calabasas, California, on Sunday killing all nine people onboard including retired NBA star Kobe Bryant, is a VFR-only operation, according to information from the NTSB and a former company employee.

I totally agree, but let's be honest...this story would never be as big if it weren't for Bryant on board.
Why not call it the "Island Express-Sikorsky S-76-Bryant Friends and Family crash?"
You forgot to add the tail number....
Calling it the Bryant crash is more specific and clear. I know what that is. If there is another crash that kills nine people, will we now have confusion?
In this specific case, they were all guests of Bryant, he was paying for the trip, so calling it the Bryant crash for that reason makes sense.
It is not disrespectful to the other victims to identify the crash is a clear manner by calling it the Bryant crash, and I have heard none of the family suggest such.

This is the helicopter Kobe and the 8 others flew on.
Question, if you look inside...how did 8(excluding the pilot) fit in there? Did someone sit upfront? Looks like a tight squeeze, seating looks for only 6.

The were just as important to there loved ones as he was so lets call it the crash that killed 9 people.
