Hit a crane cable.
Recreation of actual event. 4 casualties, but not radiation related.
If you watch closely on the HBO show, you see the block and hook drop from below the copter as the cable is severed.
Much the same as happened here [note the carrying cable forming a catenary from the top of the crane to the bottom of the copter]
