Default Long Island Crash - Kite String?

Witnesses reported seeing kite string wrapped around the heli.

Could that even cause a heli to crash? I'd think that a kite string would
be easily broken... and even if it did wrap around a control area, I'd
think that the helicopter would have sufficient power to overpower the
string.
