Kobe Bryant’s death; A Twitter user predicted in 2012

Retired NBA star Kobe Bryant was one of five people killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas of southern California on Sunday. This may look like a natural accident, but looks like a Twitter user had already prophesised it — back in 2012. The tweet which claims to have predicted that the star will die in a helicopter crash has been going viral.

The tweet is sneaky, as the Twitter verse has since been commenting.And even the user cannot believe it. There are, however, a few naysayers who said the tweet was made using some tool.But the claim was also rejected, as Twitter does not support any API tool that can alter the date and time of the tweets.According to reports, Bryant was travelling with at least three other people in his private helicopter when it went down.The investigation is underway.
