The howling wind ripped through the white sky, thick snow covered the rugged mountain range. In that harsh scene, the rescue helicopter carrying Elon Musk – who had just had an accident while climbing the snowy mountain – rushed desperately. But just a few minutes after taking off, the snowstorm became fierce, the strong wind made the rotor blades wobble. “I just saw a halo and then heard a loud bang,” a climber recounted, his voice trembling. The helicopter lost control, spun around, and crashed straight into the mountainside, creating a blazing fireball in the blinding snow.
The scene immediately turned into an icy hell. Burning debris fell onto the thick snow, smoke and fire mixed with the snowstorm, creating an unprecedented chaotic scene. The rescue team, their faces bloodless, helplessly watched the helicopter burn fiercely. “No one can survive,” the search force commander declared with a choked voice.
Paramedics rushed in with a faint hope. But all they found was a lifeless body covered in ice and smoke. CPR equipment and oxygen tanks were useless against the severity of the injury. A doctor at the scene burst into tears: “We tried everything, but we couldn’t perform a miracle.”
The bad news spread like lightning. Elon Musk – the icon of technology, the man who dreamed of building a colony on Mars – died along with his crew during the rescue flight. The mountain hospital confirmed the mass death, with no passengers left.
The world was shocked. Musk’s family broke down in pain. SpaceX and Tesla colleagues were stunned, many collapsed at the headquarters when they received the news. The US President said: “A guiding star of humanity has gone out in a snowstorm.” On social media, the hashtag #PrayForElon and then #GoodbyeElon flooded, millions of tweets made the internet shake.
The grief continued. As fans gathered to pray at the foot of the mountain, an avalanche suddenly occurred, burying dozens of people. Another rescue helicopter had to return in the harsh weather conditions. The double tragedy caused an atmosphere of mourning to cover the whole world.
Night fell, candles were still burning brightly in the cold. Elon Musk’s portrait was placed on a white flower pedestal in New York Square, the light reflected on the falling snow, tens of thousands of people bowed their heads to pray. In Tokyo, Berlin, Paris, thousands of fans gathered in tears. The sky seemed to collapse when an era was buried in a cruel snowstorm. Elon Musk, the man who challenged human limits, ended his journey with a tragic death in the middle of the cold snowy mountain.
