And so far, we don't know Chico's status. Hope they reveal something soon, especially when the only confirmed surviving PW character casualty in Ground Zeroes is Paz (Strangelove is going to reappear in Phantom Pain based on a KP Alert, Cecile and Amanda weren't even on Mother Base when it was attacked, Huey, aside from appearing in The Phantom Pain, won't die until by his own hand, or rather, wheels in a pool thanks to his son sleeping with his second wife, and its pretty obvious Big Boss and Miller have until MGS4 and MGS to live). Heck, we don't even know if the chopper actually crashes, as the GameInformer issue has Kojima, when stating that Big Boss had only been in one coma and people will figure out how he got in the coma throughout the game, implied that it wasn't from the chopper. I don't see how the helicopter couldn't crash if it got t-boned by another helicopter. Technically, we never actually see it get t-boned as the scene just ends as it enters slow motion. Someone on GameFAQs, more specifically Robin Mask, pointed out that, the part of GameInformer where Kojima is discussing the coma, he implies that the chopper was not the cause of the coma. Besides, considering that they are several miles away from the mainland, and that kind of T-boning would result in the door being fused shut, it would be impossible for anyone to survive, much less Big Boss and Miller, the only two confirmed characters to survive those events.
