This shows how much you don’t know much about helicopters.
IF. A bird falling out of the sky at 2500 ft, are you going to survive that?
99% of the time that wont happen but it could. Besides the amount of flights in the GOM compared to downed helicopters, is really nothing to worry about.

Very sad situation. I hope the family and friends of both individuals are getting the support they need.
My father survived, along with his entire crew and all of his passengers. More than once.
Losing engine power in a helicopter does not automatically equal crash, by any stretch. You have enough altitude, technical skill, and survival instinct, and it’s likely nothing more than an especially hard landing.
