Bond is paying respects to his dead wife at her grave when he's unexpectedly picked up by a helicopter from the office. Cut to a man in a wheelchair with a helicopter control console in front of him and stroking a white cat. The pilot of the chopper is killed by an electrical charge, and the helicopter is remotely controlled by the wheelchair-bound villain while he taunts Bond through the chopper intercom, evidently planning to kill him by crashing the aircraft.
Bond crawls out on the skid of the helicopter, throws the dead pilot out, and takes control .
He scoops the villain's wheelchair up on the chopper skid and dumps him down a smokestack. With this in mind, some have argued that Blofeld shouldn't have been killed in such an off-hand manner. It would seem that the most significant villain in the world of Bond should have had a more significant send off. An illogical attempt at killing Bond works here where it hasn't in other moments in the series. In addition to involving first-rate stunt work, the attempt on Bond's life isn't meant to simply get him out of the way as much as it is an elaborate act of revenge.
