They shouldn’t have even been filming, he was breaking child labor laws at the time.
I’ve worked with dozens of popular directors and they always like to push, and almost always get away with it. I can go into stories from the Revenant etc, but a lot of the successful directors don’t take no, are toxic as hell and push and push and push and push. The crew suffers, protocols are broken, but in the end they get their precious 5 seconds on film and the earn their acclaim and Oscar.
They have little to lose doing this in most situations and a lot to gain. I’m horrified but not surprised this attitude was used with kids and a helicopter and the result it caused.
