While Thor was free-falling to his supposed death, Loki idly stood by the control panel and proceeded to make his escape, and leave Coulson to die a horrible death.
"You're gonna lose..." Phil croaked, looking up to Loki, who turned back to the dying man. "Am I?" Loki snarled at him.
"It's in your nature."
"Your heroes are scattered," Loki said. "Your floating fortress falls from the sky... where is my disadvantage?"
"You lack conviction," Coulson mumbled.
"I don't think I'm –" Loki managed, just as Coulson pulled the trigger of the Destroyer rifle, blasting Loki through the wall and through the other side.
"So that's what it does..." Coulson joked to himself, and tried to hang on for dear life.

The engines managed to stabilize and keep the Helicarrier afloat with Stark and Steve's help, and Barton was snapped out of Loki's control, and he was now being held in a cell.
However, Loki and the rest of his mind-controlled posse had escaped... and Phil Coulson was nearing the last few moments of his life. Fury and Zach entered the holding cell to find the agent bleeding out.
"Sorry, boss," Coulson muttered, just as Fury removed the weapon off his chest. "The god rabbited."
"Just stay awake," Fury commanded, not wanting to lose someone he'd know for years, one of his closest confidants. "Eyes on me!"
"No..." Coulson mumbled. "I'm clocking out here."
"Not an option," Fury instructed.
"It's okay, boss," Coulson managed. "This was never going to work – if they didn't have s-something to–..."
Coulson stopped, and breathed his last breath, now still and motionless. Fury looked grim and mournful to Phil's body, just as Zach frighteningly checked his pulse, while muttering what he believed Coulson's last words were.
"Something – to avenge." Zach mumbled, as he pressed the tips of his fingers near Coulson's neck. He had no pulse.
Tears leaked from his eyes, now having seen death take someone he cared about. It was a horrible feeling, it sunk to the depths of his stomach. It killed him inside to think what Coulson's girlfriend, Audrey would feel at this moment.
The medical team arrived immediately after, taking Coulson's body, while Fury stood up and leaned against the railing.
Zach had stopped the medical team, and dug into Coulson's pockets, retrieving his Captain America trading cards, now coated and drenched in his blood. "You'd probably need these," he solemnly said as he handed the bloody cards to the Director. "Guess Steve never got around to signing them."
