[SPEC] Helicopter Crash

Not sure, but if you look, it's quite light out, seems to be well into morning when crash occurs. Must be one of the last scenes in the movie.

With the size of this monster, I think that any direct attack on the heli would cause way more damage then just making it go out of control. Would seem to me that the pilot becoming "infected" might cause the pilot to loose control.

Assuming that the monster isn't directly stalking any of the slusho 7, it's not foolish to think that any number of things could've caused the crash (military missiles, buildings falling, etc.).
Maybe rob's trying to fly the damn thing to get an infected beth out of the area and either fubar's massively or the military is given orders to shoot it down?

[shivs]

Yeah, perhaps the military has to blow the bridge in order to prevent any of the smaller things from getting out. Or is that too much like I am Legend to be used?

[stugots]

just thought of something..........there could be 2 different helichopters.....but the reason the one goes down during dawn (possibly) spinning out of control secondary to a nuclear blast?

[detranova]

Perhaps the monster pulled a King Kong, and jumped up and knocked out the stabilizer? With the numerous tentacle/quills theories going around, it's possible that either the monster is small but can jump high, and is directly underneath the helicopter, or it can attack at long range.

The military taking it down seems more plausible. Why they'd shoot off the stabilizer or knock it out of control instead of blowing it up the right way seems suspicious, though. That leads me to suspect that it's accidental, either how stugots suggested (but then where's the mushroom cloud?), or possibly by friendly fire from jumpy reservists who are still worried about infected people, or zombies, or whatever the outbreak is.

Our buddy seems to like to throw things like the heads of statues. Maybe the helichopter was "hurled" out of control far enough away to not get a good look during the spin.

I think the audio of that event might help to understand how it comes to happen. There's a distinct sound that's originating from outside the aircraft, because it's heard to go 'around' you in the stereo track. Every part of the aircraft in that shot that makes noise will stay in the same place relative to the camera, because they are moving as one.
