During the last day of filming 'Twilight Zone: The Movie,' explosions on set caused the pilot of a helicopter to lose control, crashing into Vic and the two children. All three were killed instantly. The children had been hired illegally, did not have the necessary permits, and did not have a licensed teacher-welfare worker.
