superstorm which freezes almost anything it touches, down below people packed onto a highway freeze to death in their cars as the storm gains full power. Helicopters 1 and 2 report they have lost visual contact due to the storm blocking their view. Soon after a gage on chopper 3 starts to freeze and the pilot reports it. On chopper 1 engine 2 goes into warning mode, the co-pilot reports the fuel lines start to freeze and soon after the rotor does the same. Chopper 1 suddenly drops from the sky, the pilot is astounded as the co-pilot tries to get back in control but with no avail, the navigator braces for impact and the chopper hits the ground hard and slides down a hill killing all 3 on impact. Chopper 2’s engine and rotor RPM’s drop and the navigator witnesses the vital systems and wiring above his head freezing to the point of ice, the chopper suddenly drops as the fuel lines freeze, the co-pilot yells out to prepare for crash landing, the plane hits the ground and violently rolls over killing all 3 almost instantly. On chopper 3 the engine fails and they begin losing altitude, the co-pilot tries to activate systems but it doesn’t work. He tries to pull up but can’t, the pilot shouts to hold on and the chopper almost slams nose first into the ground, it slides down a hill and comes to a rest at the bottom of it.
