Phillippe's father fell into rotating helicopter blades.

Which Cousteau son flipped the PBY Catalina & drown? That's the only aircraft related accident that I recall.

I stand corrected about the helicopter. It was a crash landing of the PBY Catalina. The propeller blade separated and cut through the cabin. Killed was Philippe Cousteau, father of the Philippe Cousteau who was working with Irwin and grandson of Jacques.
