I don't see the big Luka attraction, either, but then dark & moody never did a thing for me! I grew up thinking I was really odd because I thought the "tall, dark & handsome" thing was kinda blech.

Anyhow, the helicopter was there to transport a patient to another hospital. Frank taunted Dr. Romano that "he wouldn't go up to the helipad either, if that had happened to him," so Romano had to go up (the patient had left his Rolex in the ER). He had Parminder (what's her name on the show?) give the watch to the patient, then he left, ending up in the ambulance bay (screaming at people as per usual).

Dr. Susan's ex, Chuck, tried to get on the helicopter, but they wouldn't let him because of insurance reasons. In the way of an accident, you saw the windsock going berserk, then the helicopter swerving out of control. It hit the helipad, throwing debris everywhere, then fell off the roof of the hospital. It exploded halfway down (into the operating room where Luka & the new nurse (what's her name?!) were with a patient, then you saw Dr. Romano looking up and saying, "Oh, no!" as the helicopter was crashing down into the ambulance bay.

I really think that the least they could have done was find his body or somehow complete that picture.
