Most awful way to die

I saw this in an article about a new helicopter service offered from Lower Manhattan to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport. This sounds like something about of the movie Final Destination:

"Helicopter service to JFK was offered in the mid-1960s and in 1977 from the roof of the then-Pan Am Building. The service was shut down after a freak accident in which a helicopter tipped over with its blades spinning. Four people on the roof were killed, and one person on the ground was hit and killed by a broken blade. Other heliport service continued through the mid-1980s."  USA Today
