It’s a fascinating story and if you aren’t familiar with it, then check out this site for the full scoop.

That’s such an upsetting, disturbing story. I don’t like watching The Twilight Zone because of this.
Not to mention that the movie sucks even without the tragic deaths.
have you seen the video of Morrow’s death?
Talk about creepy!
Oh crap, the video is out there in the public? Yucky.

I saw that footage in the mid 90s on a compilation tape called Death Scenes 2. They showed more angles than that YouTube, and a little clearer. There’s one shot from higher up and in front where you can better see the moment of impact. The tape even does a repeat frame-by-frame. It’s all a spash and blur but you can tell what happened. The other angles look like the helecopter just fell on top of them, but it didn’t.
Lost a night of sleep watching that stuff.
